Bugatti Type 57 SC

.


Just two supercharged Type 57SC cars were built new, but most 57S owners wanted the additional power afforded by the blower. Therefore, most of the original Type 57S cars returned to Molsheim for the installation of a supercharger, pushing output from 175 hp (130 kW) to 200 hp (150 kW) and 120 mph (190 km/h). The Type 57SC {#57374} is also the most expensive car ever purchased at auction, when an anonymous bidder spent an estimated 30 million dollars.
