# 1930s-Inspired Concept Supercars This Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Concept Pays Homage to the Past By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-03-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-supercars References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/28/the-most-beautiful-bugatti/) It's not often that concept supercars draw inspiration from the design aesthetic of the past, but this [Bugatti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-vehicle-designs) [Type 57SC Atlantic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-foster1) shows otherwise with a design that's inspired by the original 1930s vehicle. The Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic consists of a teardrop design that incorporates the design aesthetic of yesteryear with that of today in order to create a car that merges different features for a unified final creation. The Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is the design work of Julian Swietlicki and balances the line between the design of several different concept supercars. From the rear, the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic looks like something out of the 1930s, while the front portion looks like something you'd see coming down the track from the vehicle brand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro-futuristic Supercar Designs:** There is an opportunity for car companies to create concept supercars that incorporate design elements from the past with modern technology. - **Merging Design Aesthetics:** Designers can draw inspiration from different time periods to create a more unique and innovative product. - **Homage to the Past in Product Design:** Consumers appreciate products that pay tribute to past designs while incorporating modern functionalities. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Car manufacturers can create new product lines that offer a blend of retro and modern design elements to an increasingly diverse customer base. - **Product Design:** Product designers can explore new ways to incorporate inspiration from past designs with modern features to create unique and innovative products for various industries. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can create products that pay homage to the past and offer a unique value proposition to consumers who appreciate retro aesthetics and modern functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Supercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-vehicle-designs.md) - [Art Deco Show-Car Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic.md) - [1930s-Inspired Hand-Built Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-auto-sports.md) - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md) - [Plane-Inspired Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-concept-vehicle.md) - [Revived Classic Vintage Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-zero.md) - [Premium Hypercar-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillion-hyperwatch.md) - [Superyacht-Inspired EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept.md)
