Can there possibly be another explanation for this car from Franco Sbarro (no relation to the mall Italian food chain)?
Starting from the front (or at least what we think is the front), the Autobau looks like an early prototype of a Cylon Raider so frightening even homicidal robots were forced to change it for fear of getting the heebie-jeebies. Moving backwards there’s a windshield so flat it’s unlikely anyone over the age of six will be able to see through it.
Along the sides the design incorporates Lamborghini Gallardo cutlines through the windows, which alone would look good. Unfortunately, the designer slapped a set of windows on behind the passenger cockpit making it look absolutely revolting. And the clamshell-like way in which it opens to swallow driver and passenger? Hideous.
And the rear end? We’ll let you know if we find one. The car essentially ends with an overhang so gigantic anything over a four-degree incline will cause the Autobau to get stuck. According to the creator, there’s a Ferrari V12 engine stuffed in the back of the car producing 500 HP โ power you’ll need to escape anyone with a camera.
Kinda looks like my electric razor……
Actually, it looks like an update on the 1970 Lancia Stratos Prototype:
Albeit an ugly update…
Looks perfectly Italian to me. I don’t see the drug element at all. ๐
… answers the question,
“What can you build with spare parts?”
Hey, I had a Hotwheels car just like that! It was one of my favorites. Did the loop the loop better than any of ’em.
I think that this auto looks just great … but, I’ll wait for the pink, Little Kitty-themed model before I get out my checkbook.
Paint it black put some big fins on it and you got the new Batmobile ๐
Paint it white and put a big “5” on the door and you have the Mack 5. All they need now is Trixy as they clearly had enough speed.
I bet it can go 88mph!!

Yeah, go SpeedRacer! go!

Tell me it doesn’t have blue neons.
LSD would make into a strait line with a Berkeley Morning Haze.
I posted on the wrong post.
Looks Homer Simpson designed. I wonder if it has a giant cup holder and the horn plays La Cucaracha.
Only difference is the price of the toys! I see someone also grew up with HotWheels/Matchbox Cars.
How much? ๐
What with all the complaints in the text…
might ha been nice to SEE the front…
(look in the window, you can see the head-rests)
Call it the Sara Palinmobile. It gets a lot of attention but still looks like a piece of crap.
It’s Racer-X’s next car
If Bricklin were still producing cars, this is what the SV1 would have evolved into.
Actually, it looks like an ugly evolution of the 1970 Bertone Lancia Stratos prototype… and a very ugly evolution at that.
screw these cars…. here is something really cool
Agree! Those bumper cars look much better)
And that yellow thing should be burnt with it’s creator inside it!
Cannot what for them to test it on “Top Gear”, worst looking supercar I have ever seen.
Looks better than 99% of what I see on the road.
Overly stylish but not a bad design at all. The lines are nice. Much better than most of the same “type” imo.
