Bugatti"s Instagram feed has been mysteriously busy this past few days. It"s the company"s 110th anniversary this year so expect some serious heat around that, but right now the focus is firmly on the Type 57 Atlantic, arguably the most desirable and valuable car on the planet. Follow the clues and it seems likely something special might be coming down the pipe in time for next week"s Geneva motor show. Here"s what Bugatti"s deputy design director Etienne Salome has to say. "When the team and myself started to design this car, we really wondered, what if Jean would still be there, how would he translate the timeless elegance of his own private Atlantic onto a modern-day Bugatti?"" This car? What car? When? Who? Let"s head back to Instagram and pick up the trail. First, there"s a glimpse from a film. The 2017 action thriller Overdrive had passed me by, but in it Scott Eastwood (Clint"s son) and Ana de Armas (the holographic robot lady from Blade Runner 2049) are tasked with relieving a French crime lord of his car, yes, a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic. There"s a bit in which said car has to out-run a collapsing bridge, no way for this four-wheeled unicorn to meet its fate.
