The Type 57S *Atlantic* body featured flowing coupé lines with a pronounced 
dorsal seam running from the front to the back end of the vehicle. It was 
based on the 1935 *Aérolithe* concept car designed by Jean Bugatti which 
was built on a prototype chassis, more specifically, a standard Type 57 
chassis shortened to what would eventually become the Type 57S chassis. 
Like the Type 59 Grand Prix car, the Aérolithe used Elektron composite for 
its body panels, known for being a very lightweight and durable material, 
but also for being extremely flammable when exposed to high temperatures. 
Therefore, being unable to weld the body panels, the engineers riveted them 
externally, a technique frequently used in the aviation industry, thus 
creating the signature seam.
