As you might already know, the students of ESPERA Sbarro Montbéliard school of design undertake two different automotive projects each year – one for the Mondial de l’Automobile (the Paris Auto Show), and one for the Geneva Auto Salon. For many, the latter is the serious one.
The Eight concept began with telecommunications giant Orange Group contacting Sbarro and asking them to show off their automotive technologies. The request came just in time for Paris Auto Salon 2012 and the project would be the then third collaboration between Orange and ESPERA Sbarro.
The Sbarro Eight hotrod concept is a unique melding of old school hot rod and futuristic stealth bomber, the car features a dazzling design of sharp corners and aggressive angles. Under the hood is a 3.2 liter twin turbo Masserati V8 engine that turns out 368 horsepower. The custom side exhausts are directly attached to the turbos and would surely turn heads if this thing were street-legal.
The Eight runs on OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels which are bigger on the back than the front, and they’re covered with Michelin Pilot Sports up front and Bridgestone Potenzas in the back. The interior features plenty of real wood and leather, custom built fiberglass seats with hand-stitched leather pieces, and a Parrot Asteroid Smart car radio with a 6.2-inch screen. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SPEEDHUNTERS | BEAUTIFULLIFE]
