What makes the Scorpius Bi-moto unique is that, when the rider turns, it tilts 15 degrees towards the inside of the bend. Just like a motorcycle. Sensations guaranteed! The originality of the concept lies in the fact that the car's shell is not rigidly connected to the front and rear tracks. At the rear, the fiberglass parts covering the wheels are not attached to the body, leaving it free to move.

The concept is not unprecedented, but few automakers have taken up this principle. In 1997, Mercedes brought out a prototype, the F300 Life Jet, whose body and wheels also leaned in the direction of curves. In 2006, a Dutch company presented the Carver One, which is marketed today in an electric version, and which tilts up to 45°.

The Scorpius Bi-moto looks like nothing we've ever seen before. The long snout highlighted by a moustache-shaped spoiler is inspired by Formula 1. At the rear, the two motorcycle wheels are fully streamlined and separated by a double vertical exhaust tailpipe. The interior is rather spartan, with two separate cockpits and seats molded directly into the polyester hull.

The body was built using a method perfected by Franco Sbarro: a wire structure then covered with polyester. Until now, Sbarro's students had a mold made from a model at Chausson in Reims. But this technique, although very efficient, was too expensive. Hence the idea of reverting to the well-established method used by Franco Sbarro from the outset.

One might have expected to find handlebars in the Bi-moto, but Sbarro's students opted for a steering wheel.

The title of this site dedicated to Sbarro is "The other way of conceiving the automobile". Nothing could better sum up the philosophy that led to such a machine. The Scorpius Bi-moto has no equal, and remains a unique and extraordinary vehicle.
