The Sbarro Tornado. Oh Dear.

[Danny]

Ok, on paper, this sounds a promising car.

A 6.0 V12 with 500hp, that Sbarro have used in previous attempts at motoring perfection. Not that they were anywhere near perfection, mind.

A 180mph top speed. An exclusive price tag.

However, the looks leave alot to be desired. Those with a nervous dispostion shouldn't read any further.

Oh dear. Oh deary me.

Edit: Just noticed the hidden Caterham in the front of the car. Heh.

 

[sUn]

It's look's like a TVR, Ferrari, Lamborghini, crossed with the new Shelby Cobra. 👎

 

[Danny]

Have you spotted the Caterham influence too sUn?

 

[sUn]

No.

I don't even know any Caterham cars. Don't want to either.

 

[Danny]

The pillar down the middle is stolen.

 

[The359]

It's a 2-seater LeMans prototype-style car. 👍

Reminds me a lot of the Durango-MG or some of the other smaller LMP2 cars.

 

[Danny]

The front headlamps look like the ones of a Citroen C2. Ponder that.

 

[ExigeEvan]

The front looks like a bookshelf ...I could do with one.
The back looks Ferrari. The front looks..stolen.
Do you think they could have picked more flattering colours for its release.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Sbarro Tornado, based on a Ferrari Maranello, sold to a Swiss car enthusiast.
The front has styling elements of the Ferrari Testarossa (the old one), and also the Rinspeed One,
the rear uses the rear-lights of the New Beetle...

Some way down.

[EDIT] They have a strange choice in cars to modify. See further in linkage.

Well, Sbarro is known for making goofy cars. The guy's made some pretty neat stuff. I have to wonder how an animal that hit the front would fare.

 

[Dave A]

No.

Why not, Cateham make some amzing track day cars, the FW400 EVO is a beast on a circuit and it beast most supercars to 100Mph, hell it even beat some superbike in a 0Mph-100Mph-0mph test which included an Enzo.

Have you seen the Fiat Multipla! They had made that car look even more rediculous.
They even stuck a V6 in a C3 Pluriel!

 

[Carlover325]

I gotta say, that thing (it's not even worthy of being called a car) is one of the ugliest concepts I have ever seen, and I have seen plenty of ugly concepts. It has every single thing you can imagine wrong on a car, and even more that you would never imagine, like a front bumper that looks like it can hold books. The only somewhat right thing about the thing is the wheels, and even those are kind of ugly.

 

[Dave A]

I think that if you changed the front sides, keep the seven influence but make it less strange around that part and the car wouldn't be too bad. It's the lights and around them that's so different an odd it's not good.

 

[SkylineObsession]

I actually like it.

 

[Carlover325]

I actually like it.

Ooh, Your brave to admit that, I admire your bravery.

 

[emad]

it's not bad looking 👍

Most animals would be scared out of the way. Come to think of it, so would pedestrians. This car is a major advance in road safety.

 

[TsLeng]

I also like it. Same with the Mitsuoka Orochi.

I like cars that make people scared.

 

[Rue]

I wonder if Heir Sbarro is a stand up comic in his free time, as he's obviously got a wicked sense-of-humour!

EDIT: Tornado? Is that how it was made? They just let one rip through a junkyard and put the result on show!

 

[Jordan]

That could have turned out a lot better...I'm not quite sure how they could consider that a serious design. I thought Sbarro only made pizza in shopping malls and airports...any relation, I wonder?

 

[Rossell]

Caterham. Not as bad as you think. There is virtually no weight so you have absolutely precise handling.

Or so I'm told

[ND4SPD]

Oh my oh my, this car is......hideous, who designs their car to look like that? Probably a 9 year old or Homer Simpson could design something better but seriously it just looks like they went to the scrapyard and took apart a few supercars and glued it all together to get that. The front is hideous although I see abit of a panoz race car at the front. But this car sure does perform, well on paper atleast.

 

[Jetboy.]

With all those inlets, shouldn't drag be a factor? What about downforce? I see.......besides crap, the new Shelby in that blathering mess.

 

[Omnis]

AAAAAAH! YOU STOLE MY JOKE!

damn you jordan......damn you.

lol. when i first saw this thread i thought it was gonna be a pizza car....like the oscar meyer weiner...but just pizza instead.

 

[Joecool593]

Sbarro....sbarro....sounds like the name of a pizza joint to me ...i like the car though... 👍

EDIT: grr i should read the last post before i post....little late to the pizza thing haha
