An
English green convertible with a Jaguar V12 engine. No, it's
not one of those little handmade English cars, but a Sbarro
created by Espera students in Pontarlier. In the spirit of
English cabriolets, with a real canvas top, this car is
classic in the right way.
English engine,
Mini headlights, English green color: the inspiration from

British inspiration
The last time Sbarro used a
Jaguar V12 engine, it was to power the Osmos, a
revolutionary car equipped with the famous orbital wheels.
This time, Sbarro and the Espera students from Pontarlier
have used a Jaguar V12 to design a classic roadster. And
that's not a flaw!
The roadster's chassis is tubular with a load-bearing
engine. The body, in English green, is made of fiberglass.
The taillights come from a Lancia Thesis, as on the Morgan
Aero 8, and the headlights from a Mini. All in all, a very
pleasing-looking car.
Beautiful,
sober yet comfortable interior (Ultimatecarpage photo)
Sober
The interior is beautifully styled in black
and beige. The six gauges are arranged around the driver.
Bucket seats are by Recaro.
