The Bugatti Gangloff Concept is a Stunner

By Marcus Slater - January 31, 2013

Whenever the discussion of what the most beautiful car ever made comes up, there’s always a Bugatti in the mix. More often than not, that car is

the Bugatti Atlantique Coupe. But every now and then, someone brings up the Type 57 Atalante Coupe. The car was designed by french coach builder Gangloff back in 1938. It’s definitely not as famous as the Atlantique, but Polish concept designer Pawel Czyżewski is changing that with this concept car very quickly. This, is the Bugatti Gangloff concept.

If Bugatti had any interest in building a coupe, they’d to well to take some cues from this design. Since Czyżewski borrowed pretty heavily from Bug’s current design language, it’s not like they’d even have to work that hard. The design is astounding. The exterior lines dive and swoop live the curves on a knife. Nothing about it looks out of place or shoddily done. That’s pretty impressive for a concept. Most the time, concepts are wrought with incongruousness design elements that get smoothed out by the time the car hits production. None of that here. If Bugatti wanted to build this tomorrow, they could, an everyone would love it.

The interior deserves similar praise. Everything is wavy and smooth and determinedly futuristic. It’s typical Bugatti excess. Which is, of course, anything but typical.
