Sbarro, another vision of car

Citroën C2 V6 (2005)

Installing the largest French engine in the smallest Citroën model: that, in a nutshell, is the specification imposed by Citroën on the students of the Espera school for this extraordinary car: the C2 V6. A 220 horsepower V6 engine in such a small car weighing barely 1,000 kg is surely one of the craziest projects undertaken by Espera. (read more...)

Aria (2015)

Ten years ago, students at Espera Montbéliard unveiled Aria, a small two-seater sports coupe with a front engine and Subaru Impreza mechanics. The chassis was entirely designed and manufactured by the students. The simply magnificent upholstery was created by Composites 21, a company founded by two former students. This magnificent project was exhibited at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. (read more...)

Turbo S20 (2007)

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Sbarro schools and the 20th anniversary of Turbo, one of the oldest programs on French television, a rolling prototype was designed and created by the students of Espera Pontarlier, based on an Isdera chassis and powered by a Mercedes V8 engine. This was Espera's last creation in Pontarlier, as the school moved to Montbéliard shortly afterwards. One of the most beautiful creations from the Sbarro schools. (read more...)

Dilemme (2018)

100% electric prototype on the theme of single-seater racing. The 22 students in the class of 2017/2018 imagined and realized this project in 12 weeks of intense work, from drawing to rolling and functional prototype. Powered by two YASA electric motors, each rated at 100 kW and 750 Nm of torque, the vehicle is 2 m wide, 5 m long and has 19-inch wheels, this formula is made for the racetrack. (suite...)

Cadillac Function Tag

In 1978, Franco Sbarro presented an enormous Cadillac over 7 meters long and weighing nearly 3 tons. It was so heavy that it required a double axle at the rear. This 6-wheel Cadillac was a special order from a Saudi businessman who wanted a mobile office offering the (read more...)

Autobau (2010)

Unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the Autobau surprised and confused many people. Its style divides opinion, but there is no denying that it has an incredible presence. This rolling prototype, powered by a Ferrari V12 engine, was built as a tribute to Franco Sbarro's friend, Fredy Lienhard. The Autobau is an example of a dying breed of automobile, one that doesn't concern itself with marketing, practicality, or rationality.  (read more...)

Sbarro 328

It was at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show that Sbarro presented the replica BMW 328, which would become the most widely sold Sbarro in ten years. This model played a major role in establishing Franco Sbarro's reputation. (read more...)
