2008 Sbarro Espera Genesis
Offered by RM Sotheby’s | London, U.K. | September 5, 2018
Franco Sbarro’s automotive design school is located in Belfort, France, and has been responsible for some pretty wild concept cars. Basically, you go to design school and your final class project is to build a car that Sbarro takes to the Geneva Motor Show.
This was built by the class of 2007-2008, and here was the car from the year before. This one is powered by a V6 from Peugeot and has no top, no windshield, and no rear-view mirrors. It could be a great track toy or, if you’re European, eventually road-registered with enough effort. Design cues range from hot rod, to F1 car, to KTM X-Bow, to Plymouth Prowler, to Polaris Slingshot. And this car pre-dates two of those.
This one-off is expected to bring between $19,000-$25,000 at auction. Click here for more info and here for more from this sale.
Update: Sold $10,401.
