Interesting body design

[JSATX]

I randomly came across this vehicle in a rest stop in France. The pictures really don't do it justice, it was awesome! Trying to figure out how to adapt it to the goblin frame now hahah.

Apparently it was an exercise by a design school here. Uses all the running gear out of a Porsche 928. Very cool.

They were so neat. There's really not much info I could find though.

Try to google for Sbarro Miglia.

Cool looking cars jsat. I predict a lot of itchy nights of fiberglass, lol. None the less that black car is very cool in my book.

Here's what I found on the black car. https://www.allcarindex.com/auto-car-model/Switzerland-Sbarro-Espera-Eight/

Or how about the Rossion Q1R ($69K USD) style being more compatible with Goblin's mid-engine layout or 999 SuperSport Mk1 ($68K USD see avatar thumbnail) also a mid-engine layout and Ecotec LNF powered. 8D

hey glad you liked my project
if anyone is interest i can give more details but as said before if you want more pictures google Sbarro Miglia
the black Hot Rot is Sbarro Eight, it was a sponsor partnership with Orange Telecom a few years before Miglia and Aria (my other project). It has a 428HP Maseratti engine, unfortunately in good italian style, the engine has electrical problems and doesn't run anymore. They would need to send it back to Maseratti but can't

Thanks for reaching out! I was most interested in the body work. How did you design it? Is it all fiberglass?
Do you have any pictures of when they were being built?

the body is all fiberglass except for a few details in the interior like parts of the dashboard (that lights up orange when the car is on) and the mirrors that are carbon fiber. Also the deflector in the back, carbon too.
The design come from ideas that we discuss between us, the team is 26 students and we all have to work together and make it work in a very short amount of time. We have only 3 months to go from scratch to Geneva so...teamwork is important.
I do have quite a lot of pictures of the building process, as you can imagine we all took a lot of pictures of "the baby" as we were all very proud of what we were making. I can post a few if anyone is interested, just tell me what specifically.
I worked on the mechanic team for ARIA and bodywork for Miglia so i have more picture for each corresponding team
