Seventeen lowered coupés
The Atalante puts Jean Bugatti's two-seat coupé body on the shorter Type 57S chassis. Seventeen received factory coachwork. The SC label means a supercharger is present; when and by whom it was fitted must be proved.

Overview
Bugatti introduced the Type 57S at the Paris Salon in 1936. S stood for surbaissé: the frame was shorter and lower, the rear axle passed through it and the engine used dry-sump lubrication.
Jean Bugatti's Atalante body used a rounded roof, small side glass and a separate luggage tail. Seventeen Type 57S chassis received this coachwork at Molsheim.
The C suffix requires care. Type 57S cars were naturally aspirated when introduced; factory or later Roots superchargers brought individual cars to roughly 200 bhp. A catalogue title alone does not establish when the conversion occurred.
