The 1935 Bugatti Type 57 ‘Grand Raid’ Roadster stands as an exquisite example of automotive artistry and high performance from the pre-war era. Designed by Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore, the Type 57 chassis was already a masterpiece of engineering.
The ‘Grand Raid’ was a particularly striking version, defined by its aerodynamic bodywork and a distinctive, aggressively raked windshield, giving it a powerful, streamlined profile indicative of its racing aspirations. It featured a supercharged 3.3-liter straight-eight engine, offering exceptional speed and luxury. The Roadster body, often custom-built, was characterized by elegant flowing lines and a low-slung stance.
This model is considered one of the rarest and most beautiful variations of the Type 57 line, perfectly blending Bugatti’s tradition of superior mechanical performance with unmatched bespoke elegance.
