Studying at the feet of enigmatic designer Franco
Sbarro, the next wave of design students coming out of the school in
Montbéliard, France, always have something unusual in the works. And they
certainly won't disappoint at this year's Geneva Motor Show.
This year's project is dubbed the Mojave (ostensibly
after the southwestern American desert). And we're not quite sure what to make
of this solitary teaser rendering. If that upright tube at the top is supposed
to be the cockpit, it doesn't seem terribly accommodating, and apparently lacks
any side windows – which are kind of important for driving.
The
concept is said to be powered by a 4.0-liter gasoline engine sending 296 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed
manual transmission. Color us intrigued, but we'll have to wait just a little
while longer to find out more.
