Bugatti’s Modern-Day Type 57 SC Atlantic Appears To Be Chiron-Based

A handful of new teasers of Bugatti’s modern-day 57 SC Atlantic have been published prior to its debut tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show .

The French automaker’s campaign for the vehicle kicked off a couple weeks ago, but it wasn’t until last week that we were able to connect the dots and realize that a new Atlantic is just around the corner. These teasers provide a glimpse of the vehicle’s radical body.

The first video previews the front of the French hypercar. While some would expect the new Atlantic to look like the original but with a modern twist, that doesn’t seem to be the case. While the image is very dark, the car depicted has a very similar overall shape to the Bugatti Chiron and, viewed from the front, may not be any more extreme than the limited-run Divo.

A second teaser offers a glimpse of a curvaceous piece of body work, and the third previews the radical taillights of the vehicle. Also, last week Bugatti teased the Atlantic-inspired dorsal fin of the car.

Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann recently confirmed that the vehicle will be a one-off and, if our sources are correct, is the $18.2 million hypercar ordered by former VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch.

Thanks to the new Chiron underpinnings, it should be powered by the latter’s quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 with at least 1500 hp and be capable of performance to at least match, and probably exceed, the Chiron.

We’ll be keeping an eye for it, as it could be revealed before the show’s opening, so stay tuned!
