The striking car features an extremely long bonnet with an overall length of 3.7 metres. Its rear end flows downwards in an oval shape and extends almost to the ground. A raised seam, an outstanding design feature, runs vertically from the hinge in the split bonnet to the tail — dividing the body in the middle.
The Type 57 SC Atlantic is powered by a robust, near-silent 3.3-litre straight-eight engine. It is able to produce up to 200 PS and has a top speed in excess of 200 km/h. A work of art on wheels and also a pioneering innovation at a time when mostly horse-drawn carts were still on roads.
“It is the very definition of the automobile transcending into the world of art, making it the ideal specimen to illustrate our brand’s heritage and design philosophies at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao,” added Piochon.
