The Type 57 Ventoux was a factory-designed production body sold as a 2-door, 4-seat Coupé. Like the alternative production bodies, the Ventoux was named a mountain, this being the famous Mont Ventoux in the Provence region of France.

Jean Bugatti was personally involved with the Ventoux’s style and used many traits from the outgoing Type 50 Coupe Profilee.

A large portion of Type 57 chassis received either factory Ventoux bodywork or an adaptation of the design by design houses such as Gangloff. We have counted 94 found cars, 28 lost cars and 17 Ventouxs which have been rebodied for an approximate total production of 139. Included in these are 57351 and 57647 which are reported as stolen.
