Technical data of the original vehicle:

The radiator grille is finely mashed. Also a very nice detail are the metal pins on which the engine hood wings can rest if they are opened. The wheels are appareled with aluminium rims and stainless steel spokes. Every single stainless steel spoke is equipped with a single nipple.

The double-winged engine hood is hinged on both sides. The highly detailed 8-cylinder in-line-engine includes all aggregates and cabling

The front- and side windows are metal framed. The windshield wipers are staggered in reverse order. The rear fenders are equipped with a stone-chipping protection cover made of aluminium plate with a dead surface. These are just some small details of the original car that we transferred to our miniature.

Also the underbody is a high-end recreation of the original. The underbody plate, which is equipped with air vents, is made of metal. The exhaust pipe system is made of stainless steel. The frame is also a solid metal construction.

Elegant door design with three hinges and a fully functional guidance bar sliding mechanism. The seats and as well the door interior, which is sewn with functional pockets, is cov-ered with real leather.

The spare wheel in the rear end hutch can be taken out. The gas cap and as well the cap of the cooler is removable, too.

Finely recreated cockpit. The dashboard looks true to the original with all instruments and control elements.

Item number M-083 – composed and hand mounted of more than 1,700 single parts. A flawless and perfect in form body painted in sapphire. Its unique design feature, the seam with the extensive rivet structure on the fenders and the roof, are reconstructed true to the detail.

The perfectly shaped radiator grille of metal with Bugatti emblem is chromed with a high gloss finish. The number plate equates the original as well. Unforgotten amongst all Bugatti enthusiasts.

In the early 80`s of the last century, the Pope car

became sold to the well known fashion designer

Ralph Lauren. After a costly restoration in which many

Bugatti experts were involved, the Coupé was re-intro-

duced in a elegant black painting. CMC also recreated

this Atlantic. We offer that car with item number

M-085 in a worldwide limited edition of 5,000 pieces.

The development of the Atlantic

Coupé was intellectually indebted

to Ettore Bugatti’s son, Jean. Only

26 years old, he came up with a

masterpiece that made automobile

history.

What he presented was a design

that had never been seen before,

and it outshined anything else. The

car has upheld its halo and fascina-

tion to this day.

By the way, the dorsal seam that

goes from its wind shield to the

rear end, is just a style element. It`s

reminiscent of the seam that held

the two body half of the prototype

car “Aerolithe” together.

Our original was the third and last

produced Atlantic, delivered in

May 1938 to the English busi-

nessman R.B. Pope. He kept the

car for nearly 30 years. We spared

no cost and effort to find out and

realize all single details of R.B.

Pope`s original car and transferred

them to our model.

Only a person without any petrol

it its blood could resist this phe-

nomenal replica. Words are just

not enough to describe this beau-

ty. Grant yourself this extraordi-

nary collector`s item of stable

value and explore its countless

highlights.

But not only the appearance of

the sports car caused a lot of

attention. The Atlantic-Coupé was

one of the most powerful cars of

its time in the world. The 3.3 litre

8-cylinder in-line-engine and two

overhead cam shafts became

powered by a compressor.

Approximately 200 hp accelerated

the car to sensational 200 km/h.

But how did the Atlantic received

his name? Well, it`s a common

assumption that Jean Bugatti

chose this name to honor his

adored sculptor and pilot Jean

Mermoz. He tried to cross the

South-Atlantic in 1936 by plane

and disappeared without a trace.

For quite some time, experts all agree that the Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupé belongs in the most beautiful cars that were ever built. Its streamlined body is a classic of engineering decorative art. Only three vehicles of this fascinating sports car have been manufactured. In spite of this, you can own such a beauty, albeit in the form of an exquisite miniature. You will be surprised how it does justice the original.
