NAME: 1936 Bugatti Type 57G, nicknamed “Tank”.
Those of you who stumble upon obscure cars from time to time will know this thing’s story, but basically, it’s a model that Bugatti literally buried underground from the Germans during the cough cough so they wouldn’t commit theft on the design! It also raced somewhere i forgor.
