The Bugatti Atlantic 1936 -

 

Only 4 where ever made with two still in existence and one sold for over $30 million in 2010.

 

Whilst I’m not sure a real car is worth that amount I really like the swoops and curves on this model version and have tried to use dark and light to show them.

 

Shot in our kitchen using a pen torch to light the model with the spotlights added afterward in Photoshop hopefully creating depth and looking as if the car is a studio shoot.

Absolutely brilliant bit of photography and very creative processing.

The car doesn't appeal, but the photo processing is spot on.

From the rear the car looks very like the back end of one of the very earliest VW Beetles.......look it up.

First rate lighting and photography.

 

£30M, yes perhaps but that car would not be my choice.

Love the photo and creative processing. My thoughts on this are: something (anything) is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it. So if it was sold for £30M then it is worth 30 million to the buyer. whether it is worth that to anyone else would only be proven if the buyer decides to sell it. Personally I would love to pay £30M for something

Beautiful. Shown off to a T with the good photography.

Totally agree...great skill

great pic, and loving the simplicity of your studio too!

 

The car's styling seems to have influenced Morgan with their coupe - http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/mmc/carrange/aerocoupe/morganaerocoupe.html

That must be a quality model, the detail is excellent. The wire wheels look very realistic!

[Denis]

You asked if any car was worth £30m, thats probably the amount I have spent on repairing and servicing the five Land Rovers I have owned!

Good link  - and it kinda looks that way, the Morgan certainly a stunner.

I read about Mr Smith a couple of years ago in AP mag, I do think his model cars are so life like even without his creative eye.

Excellent work there Colin B

To be pedantic Fuji it should be the early beetles look like the buggati's rear as this car has influenced many a designer

Would I pay 30 mil for a car of course I would if I had 30 billion, what else would I waste it on
