The students at the Ecole Espera Sbarro
finally had their work in the public eye at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
The car is called the
Mojave, and while the salt flats of Bonneville are indeed better known in
automotive circles, Sbarro went with Mojave because that's where the first-ever
hot rod races were held, back in the 1930s.
This concept
was inspired by both hot rods as well as street rods, while technically, it
integrates touch sensing and haptic feedback functions developed by Bosch.
Pop open the hood and
you'll find a 294 HP Jaguar-sourced 4.0-liter V8 unit, mated to a 5-speed
manual transmission borrowed from BMW. Since composite materials were
used for the construction of the body, the concept weighs just 1,060 kg.
As for those flashy OZ
Zeus wheels, they measure 10.5 x 20" at the front and 12 x 20" at the
rear.
