6. 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Competition Coupe Aerolithe

The Bugatti Type 57S Competition Coupe Aerolithe is one of the strangest European cars of all time The 1935 edition of the car was one of only 710 total models built. The 57S is a lowered version of the 57, and the autos commonly sell for large sums of money today to rare car collectors. The auto was a new design for its time, and it is one of the best known Bugatti cars today. The S model featured a V-shape dip at the bottom of the car’s radiator, and it also has mesh grilles on both sides of the engine compartment. Once the car was lowered, the rear axle of the auto passes through the rear frame, and a dry-sump oil system was installed in order to fit the engine under the lowered hood.
