It's believed to be one of only 17 such Coupés in existence.
included S and SC variants that reached very limited production in the 1930s. Named after Greek heroine Atalanta, the Type 57S and 57SC Atalante featured two-door coupe bodywork, a low-slung chassis and an elegant Art Deco aesthetic.They were at the bleeding edge in terms of tech, too, with a 3.3-liter inline-eight engine that could produce 160 hp for a top speed of 120 mph. Indeed, the Type 57 set numerous world records and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1937 and 1939.
This fine example is believed to be one of only 17 Atalante Coupés to leave the factory. Dating back to 1936, the 86-year-old four-wheeler features a striking two-tone paint scheme, with a glossy black base and a bright-red French curve on each side. It also has stunning riveting throughout its bodywork, according to RM Sotheby’s.
Although no estimate has yet been given, you can expect the Atalante to fetch a pretty penny. In 2020, a similar model sold for more than $10.4 million at a Gooding & Company auction. Just remember what Ettore said: Nothing is too expensive.
