A modern reincarnation of Porsche 904 by Sbarro's Students

New BEAST Perhaps there is no one in the automotive world who does not know Franco Sbarro, a gentleman from Switzerland (who is now around 83 years old) is famous for a series of unique and unusual automotive creations, especially after he founded an auto design school under his name in Montbeliard, and usually called Espera Sbarro Montbéliard, in which annually its students routinely present extraordinary sports or utility vehicles.

Some time ago while surfing in the internet, we came across one of the sports car prototypes made by the Sbarro design school students of 2019 called the Sbarro Renner Coupe, which evokes extreme emotions due to carries a design inspired by racing cars of the sixties, and also powered by modern racing engines.

The Sbarro Renner sports coupe model is said to be inspired by racing cars from the 1960s, in particular: the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS. Initially, the German-made 650 kilograms weighing sports car was prepared for the 1963 racing season, powered by a four-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of almost two liters to burst power around 185 horsepower. But then for its racing prototype, Porsche also prepared in versions of six and eight cylinder engines.

The Sbarro Renner sports coupe building project was implemented by twenty-four students of the Sbarro design school, who completed work from the first sketch to the finished car in just fifty-six days. The sports coupe's body is made of fiberglass, and is built on a tubular frame. In the process, this coupe not only referred to the classic form of the Porsche 904, its creators also made sure that it was made as close as possible to the original technologically.

Furthermore, this sports coupe prototype is driven by a mid-mounted engine derived from the Subaru WRX STI. This is a four-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of two and a half liters, connected to a turbocharger, then the power of the Sbarro sports coupe prototype is shifted exclusively to the rear axle via a five-speed manual gearbox.

This machine is capable of spitting out power of around three hundred horsepower to drive the Sbarro Renner sports coupe weighing around 940 kilograms which will certainly guarantee extraordinary performance, but unfortunately the car has never undergone intensive testing to discuss specific performance figures.

As quoted from Autogen.pl, after the construction of the Renner sports coupe prototype completion, the car was exhibited for the first time to the public at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show along with other no-less exotic cars of Espera Sbarro Montbéliard such the Sbarro Miles Concept.

As you can see, the second car of the Sbarro Miles Concept is also inspired by racing cars several decades ago. The car was uniquely built in less time than the Renner; only about forty days. The car was modeled on the cars that competed in the American famous racing Indianapolis 500 of the 1960s and 1970s.

Unlike them, the sports car accommodates the driver and passengers in the open sky, which is only protected by a small fairing. The vehicle is powered by a front-mounted supercharged six-cylinder BMW engine with an output of around three hundred horsepower to drive the car rear axle through a five-speed manual gearbox. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SBARRO | AUTOGEN.PL ]
