The Type 57 was designed under the supervision of Ettore Bugatti's young son, Jean. For the first time in a Bugatti, the transmission was mounted integrally with the engine, separated by a single-plate clutch. In 1936, the company introduced the supercharged 57C and the 57S, a sports version with a lower, shorter chassis and a split front axle. Hydraulic brakes were added to all models in 1938. This example was sold by Jean Bugatti to Maurice Trintignant in 1939. It was raced at Le Mans and Comminges, and was subsequently campaigned by R. Van de Wetter. It is the last of three Aravis made. Top speed is in excess of 120 mph.
