At
the request of Rolland Affolter, Lamborghini importer for
Switzerland, who had crashed his Porsche 928 S, Sbarro
recovered the Porsche's mechanical components and dressed them
up in a VW Golf body. Of course, the latter, made of
polyester, underwent a number of modifications.

Enlarged wings, new radiator grille, cockpit moved aft to make
way for... the engine! The latter is a 4.5-liter V8 developing
310 hp and propelling the car to 230 km/h. For acceleration,
count on less than 7 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a
standstill, and 26.4 seconds to cross the kilometer mark.
Two examples of this car have been built,
differentiated by grille and color. We go far beyond
simple tuning
In brief
1- A Golf with a Porsche 928 engine
2- Front engine, not rear like the Golf
Turbo previously built by Sbarro
3- Two examples differing in detail
(grilles, taillights, rims, etc.).
