Seb Millenium - 2001
T
he Seb Millenium coupé, exhibited on the Sbarro stand at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, is a classically styled sports car by comparison with some of Sbarro's past creations. It has an air of Jaguar, yet its origins are American.
V8 and unusual wheels
Yet its underside hides a
Ford powertrain derived from a Mustang SVT Cobra. The 4
valves per cylinder V8 engine develops 400 horsepower. The
tires are no slouch: 18" at the front and 285/35 in 22" at
the rear. Such a diameter in 2001 was exceptional.
Wise styling
The bodywork is made of
polyester, as usual at Sbarro. The front end, with its oval
grille, is reminiscent of a Jaguar. The lenticular headlamps
are topped by a body-colored longitudinal bar. The mirrors
seem to originate from the hood boss. There is a single
windshield wiper. The roof is fixed, but looks like a hard
top. The rear pillars are pierced by four large holes. The
rear end is massive, with four round lights and two large
tailpipes.
In brief
