This year’s Geneva Motor Show was packed full of
gorgeous, futuristic, ultra-connected, autonomous and electrified vehicles. The
Sbarro 4×4+2 concept is not one of them.
The
concept of the car is simple, probably it’s a six wheeler built for off-road
racing. However, everything else about it just screams “Quirk City”.
Let’s start with the design, which by the way rivals
that of the new Sin S1 in terms of testing our gag reflexes. As you’ve
undoubtedly noticed, there are cutouts in the metal in the shape of those
massive wheels, no windows except for the windshield, a ginormous bonnet and
taillights that look like they belong on some classic from the mid-50s.
Inside, there are racing seats, a racing steering
wheel and third seat propped up in the back. What’s really interesting about
the cabin though is it tells us that the 4×4+2 started life as a
first-generation Porsche Cayenne.
This concept is powered by a 5.0-liter engine, putting down 550 PS
with the help of a 6-speed automatic. In case they’re off about that
displacement figure, this could very well be the 4.8-liter V8 unit in the
first-gen Cayenne Turbo S, which indeed had 550 PS as well as a 6-speed auto.
