[CHEESE-TACULAR]

whats that thing that looks like it comes out of the passenger side door?

[ScionDriver]

Never heard of this car. Is it a one-off? Specs?

[my porsche]

that is a wierd/ugly version of a 360 it looks like

[ruim20]

An air intake like that isn't a bad ideia, but a design like that is a no no, it looks uglier than the 360... i never tought that would be achieved!

I now i'm going to be crucified, but that's MY opinion.

[Esperante]

Pyuk...looks poorly built and unfinished.

That's the only other picture I could find. Not in high res.

It's an ugly car IMO.

[Manik]

McLaren I'm just wondering.......why did you make a whole thread just to post a picture of a car almost nobody has ever heard of?

[tallguynate]

Here's a link I just happened to stumble upon while searching something totally unrelated, so I thought I should post it. Sorry it's in Italian.

wow.... looks very very strange. i thought it was a tvr at first. i dont mind the looks, except for the two pipes behind the seats and the ugly head lights

judging by the badge, i dont think its a ferrari at all.

designer Franco Sbarro (from italy - emigrated to switzerland in the 1950's) and went on to become one of the countries most famous car maker and one of the design worlds most adventurous figures. some of his most interesting works are:

the Sbarro super 12:
an ingenious hatch with a red/white gradient paint job, distinctive at the time, which mated two kawasaki bike engines for form a 12-cylinder unit.

The Sbarro bugatti royale dynasty:
replica of the bugatti royale, with two joined Rover V8's.

The Sbarro Monster G:
AWD system, wheels taken from a boeing jet - these made the Monster G sit some 7 ft 4 inches tall, with a 350bhp mercedes benz 6.9 litre V-eight.

1995 Sbarro Alcador:
like all of Sbarro's concept cars - all were fully functioning capable of being driven in anger - the Alcador utilised a ferrari engine producing 400bhp.


also check these names out:
Isatis
Issama (for alfa)
Ionos (Sbarros ideal of a modern day lancia stratos)
Urbi (uber small urban car)
Astro (pure acceleration)
Chrono (funky ideal for easy engine access)
Challenge (ultimate wedgy?)

EDIT: almost forgot, he is famous for his pioneering work on hubless bikes and cars alike
