Cyril De Rouvre, a wealthy French industrialist specialized in aviation, commissioned Franco Sbarro a small town car, compact, capable of traveling at slow speed in traffic jams, but with enough resources to stand up to the best sports the time.
The mechanism chosen by Sbarro is that of an Audi 200 turbo: a 5-cylinder engine, centrally positioned rear, and developing 200 horsepower. The car is intended primarily to urban traffic, the gearbox is 4-speed automatic. The suspensions are McPherson type with lower triangles high base. Braking is provided by four discs, assisted by a spoiler.
The interior is luxurious: white leather, red carpet, hi-fi high-tech. The seats seem to be an integral part of the car and it fits into the Sbarro's style. The exterior has a feeling of power, accentuated by the short length of the car (3.30 m) and wide. There are design details typically Sbarro, the front and rear lights obscured by a horizontal grid.
Finally, the car is named after its owner. Robur in Latin means Rouvre.
