Bugatti T57SC sn57593 Roadster Corsica 1938 Original Car Blue in 1:43 scale
This is the Bugatti T57SC sn57593 Roadster Corsica 1938 Original Car Blue in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Roadster “Corsica” (chassis no. 57593) is a rare and breathtaking example of pre-war automotive artistry and performance, distinguished by its supercharged straight-eight engine, exquisite coachwork, and exceptional exclusivity. What set the T57SC apart from its competition was its combination of advanced engineering and bespoke design — the “SC” denoted Surbaissé (lowered) and Compresseur (supercharged), giving it both enhanced stability and significantly more power than most luxury cars of its era. The elegant Corsica roadster body blended graceful curves with aerodynamic insight, crafted by some of Europe’s finest coachbuilders, making it as visually striking as it was mechanically accomplished. In a period when luxury automobiles were often heavy and stately, the Bugatti T57SC delivered sporting prowess, rarefied exclusivity, and artistic detail, earning its place as one of the most coveted and remarkable cars of the 1930s.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors.
