Sbarro Volkswagen Golf 300s 1983

[Nurburgthing.]

At the request of Rolland Affolter (the man who today modify Lamborghini Diablo!), who had broken his Porsche 928 S, Sbarro has recovered the mechanics of the Porsche and a body dressed in a VW Golf. Of course the body in polyester has undergone some changes: inflated wings, a new grille ... As to the cockpit, he was moved back to make room... for the engine! By the way, it is a 4.5-liter V8 developing 310 horsepower and propels the car to 230 km/h. For accelerations, count less than 7 seconds to reach 100 km/h from start and 26.4 seconds to cross the terminal km.


Two copies of this car were built, including their different grille and color.

Hahaha so 80s....check that jacket on the driver!! Never really liked Sbarros; most of what I've seen, feels like they try too hard to be extreme/different/memorable.

I know, 80s chic at its best?

Sbarro always strived to be very individual and wacky. I'm not keen on most of his creations, the two Golfs I have nominated seem to be rather tame and normal looking compared to other Sbarro monstrosities.

@JKgo - Just to add.

I don't think Sbarro was a try hard type, his brain naturally came up with this stuff.


Vote for it, you know you love it really .
