Nothing screams ‘sports car’ like this new baby from Bugatti – the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Just one look and you know that this unit is made for speed.

More on the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport specs and details after the jump.

Here’s an excert from the Bugatti press release:

Every detail of this car, and not just its use of advanced motorsport technology, stems back to the pioneering spirit of company founder Ettore Bugatti. This brilliant designer came from a family of artists, and his philosophy was always to combine mechanical perfection and exterior beauty. This ethos remains alive and well at the company today, where every modification to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport serves to coax greater performance from the car.

The Super Sport’s flat, elongated silhouette distinguishes itself from the standard car. Rather than scoops above the engine, the 16-cylinder engine is now fed air from two NACA ducts integrated into the roof. The front air intakes have been expanded and reshaped, with the lower one extending elegantly around the sides to the wheel arch. The revised rear end looks sportier due to the double diffuser and a centrally arranged exhaust system.

Bugatti has a tradition of making super sport versions of successful models, usually with racing chassis and supercharged engines. These cars were considered as true racing machines for diehard Bugatti devotees. The most successful versions was the type 55 and type 57S; with around forty of each built.

Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has now sold 260 Veyrons and 35 Grand Sports, of which 249 Veyrons and 22 Grand Sports had been delivered. The Super Sport will begin production this autumn at Molsheim along with the Veyron and the Grand Sport. The first five cars – known as the World Record Edition – are in a special black exposed carbon and orange finish, and have already been sold.

The newly discovered vintage car was owned by a surgeon named Harold Carr who also has some other impressive cars in his garage. He also has a vintage Aston Martin and a Jaguar E-Type.

Why is the 1937 57SC Bugatti Atalante (Atlante) rare? Reportedly, only 17 units were ever made around the world. And the fact that this discovered car is all original and never been touched or restored makes this one really one helluva rare piece of metal.
