Bugatti Type 59, one of the most beautiful racing cars

The Concours of Elegance is all set to happen in September and one of the most beautiful racing cars is said to be making an appearance.

One of the most beautiful racing cars in existence, the Bugatti Type 59, will be showcased at The Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace this year. Taking place between 3 and 5 September, the event is renowned as one of the top three concours d’elegance events in the world. Bugatti Type 59 The Bugatti Type 59 is famed as the most beautiful of all Bugatti’s motorsport creations and one of the best-looking racing cars of all time. The Type 59 opted for a unique shape with the width of a two-seater so that the driver could sit low next to the gearbox. Ettore Bugatti didn’t like having to sit his driver high over the propeller shaft as he would have to in a tighter, single-seat body. That shape tapers into a sharp point at the tail, which itself houses the fuel tank, in between two beautifully riveted halves of metal. The signature piano wire wheels just syncs in so well with the overall design.
