4. 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Competition Coupe Aerolithe

Although the original Bugatti Type 57S that debuted at the 1935 Paris Auto Show no longer exists, the car was demonstrative of a very new, but odd car design at the time. The 57S is a lowered version of the Type 57 and also has a v-shaped dip located at the bottom of the car’s radiator and strange looking mesh grills located on each side of the auto’s engine compartment. In order to achieve the unique look and feel of the Type 57S, the rear axle had to be passed through the rear frame. Also, a dry-sump oil system had to be created and installed to fit the engine under the lower hood of the automobile. There were only 43 Type 57S autos built.
