sexiest bugatti I've ever seen

Kind of funny considering most people will never see a real Bugatti in person. Amazing pics as always Ken.

 

I hope it doesn't live on the grass, nice car indeed.

 

What a tiny windshield

 

Very cool! I love it.

 

I agree.

 

you gotta love it

As great as cars are these days, you'll never see craftsmanship like that these days.

 

Thats some old Muscle for ya.

 

That is marvelous indeed.

 

Stunning.

+1. No melting plastic in that cockpit.

 

2+ I would pay a million dollars for a car with that craftsmanship.

 

Splendide Bugatti Ken, thanks for pictures wonderfull! can you give the reference of this car model?

 

very nice, how to say.........Made in France!

 

And that would not be enough to own a real 57SC!!

 

Viva la marque!!

 

i don't know this car but it's based on type 57 bits..it has a faint "english special" flavor to it...can't say if it started as an sc or not..

 

I dissagree, its still around. Thing is, its still just as rare today, as it was yesterday. The Bugatti's where very rare even when new. Now on engines, well, they are definitely more automated, but there still are cars being made by small shops with the same level of hand made detail. I've seen some drop dead gorgeous replica's, and artists own creations. Not often, rare, but things with the same artistic craftsmanship are still being made.

 

I understand what you're saying, and assumed someone would say it.

I know that craftsmanship like that is around still today. It just seems like the cars like classic Bugatti's and Dusi's just had something that is unexplainable by me. It's almost surreal and calming. I've never really been a fan of older cars, except for the two I've mentioned among a few others. Maybe another reason I just smile when I see them.

I'd love to see some examples you're talking about.

 

Stunning.

 

All of my pictures of it are before digital, but for starters, check out the replica Gee Bee R2 Delmar Benjamin built, they wouldn't allow any drawings or give any information, for fear they'd be sued if he chrashed. From old photographs, they built a darn good replica. I got to sit in it as a kid, and that plane(replica) has fascinated me ever since. There's also a guy with a flying Gee Bee Z thats pretty neat to.

Not too long ago, was a thread here with a Bugatti replica of very high quality.

The Pagani Zonda, when i saw it in person, its just wow! The level of detail, thought, and personal work that must go into building one is very very high. It just didn't seem stamped out of a machine, more like skillfull alien craftsman built it, and sent it to earth for us to enjoy.

These two TR replica's aren't that bad either.

I really like the bugatti hot rod have they done any engine work.
And it's looks great do's get driven hard.

 

WOW! That is definitely a well built car, with lots of detail. Thanks for sharing.

As far as the Zonda goes, I thought that car was just a given. I've loved it since I first viewed pics of it years ago. I will literally faint if I ever see one in real life.
