During The ICE in St. Moritz I filmed this Le Mans Winning 1937 Bugatti 57G "Tank". Introduced in 1934, the legendary Type 57 in 1934, laying the groundwork for some of its most iconic cars, including the Atlantic and Atalante. In true Bugatti fashion, the chassis of this high-performance road car was proven on the race track. The Type 57G took to the track in 1937, with an enclosed body that was quickly dubbed the "Tank." The Bugatti Type 57G was a work of art on wheels, a true testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Bugatti brand. Built-in the company's manufacturing plant in Molsheim, Alsace in 1936 and 1937, only three of these rare and coveted racing cars were produced. The Type 57G represented Bugatti's relentless pursuit of perfection, as they aimed to reclaim their rightful place at the top of the French motor racing world, a position that had been dominated by foreign brands. The Type 57G did Bugatti proud, winning the French Grand Prix in 1936 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1937 and 1939. The Le Mans victory was the first major international win for Bugatti. Just three Type 57G Tanks were produced, but what the car lacked in production numbers it more than made up for in results. Some accounts say that the Type 57Gs won every major race they were entered in. At the end of the 1939 Le Mans race, Bugatti was 26 miles ahead of the second-place car.
