Issima (1996)

Thirty years ago, students from Espace Sbarro in Grandson, Switzerland, presented Issima at the Geneva Motor Show, at the request of Walter De Silva and Mario Flavilla from the Alfa Romeo Style Center (Centro Stile Alfa).
This roadster has the distinction of being powered by a unique twelve-cylinder engine, created by combining two Alfa Romeo six-cylinder engines and developing 500 horsepower. (read more...)

GT C1 (2006)

Twenty years ago, students at Espera Montbéliard presented a Citroën C1 measuring 2 meters wide and 3.50 meters long. The style was influenced by the Picasso Cup presented four years earlier, from which the C1 notably borrowed its butterfly doors. The engine came from a Citroën C2 VTS and developed 125 horsepower. This may seem low, but the car weighed only 900 kg. Roughly speaking, this gave it the same power-to-weight ratio as a Peugeot 205 GTI. (read more...)

GT8 (2006)

The modifications are purely cosmetic and remain fairly faithful to the original model at the front. However, the rear has been significantly redesigned, incorporating four exhaust pipes. Far from being unanimously acclaimed, only two GT8s were produced, the second one sporting a pink color that made Ferrari enthusiasts scream. (read more...)

Ginevra (2016)

Based on the Ferrari 550 Maranello, the Ginevra (Geneva in Italian) is a one-off model approved and registered in Switzerland. Among other features, it has a trunk that opens like a drawer, similar to Sbarro's 1969 Lola T70. (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...)
