[Sbarro Challenge I 1985 (Switzerland)]
--In 1971, Franco Sbarro began making replicas of the Laura T in Switzerland. At the same time, he accidentally discovered a niche market and continued to create a line of replicas of important milestones in the history of the car.
――Each replica of Sbarro was not only a copy of the original, but also a unique interpretation of the original design that matched the spirit of the times.
--His most commercially successful car was the BMW 328 replica. In the mid-1980s, Sbarro shifted its focus to the production of concept cars and unique custom-made cars.
――The company attracted attention at the Geneva Motor Show in 1985. At the exhibition stand, journalists and visitors were fascinated by the very flat white car they had never seen before.
――It was the appearance of the car, that is, the extreme rust shape, that undoubtedly appealed to it. What caught my eye was the smooth slope from the front hood to the windshield.
--The ultra-flat wedge design has two wings on the highest edge of the roof. Both wings stood up when braking, supporting the braking effect.
--Frank Subaro said the top speed is 310km / h. It was unimaginable speed for a normal driver in the mid-1980s.
--This speed was, in principle, only possible with the Mercedes-Benz driveblock option of a 5-liter V8 engine, two turbochargers, and a 380hp output.
――Second, a first-class drag coefficient of only 0.23 (also known as 0.26 by some sources) contributed significantly to the top speed. This was such a great coefficient that it was not necessary to dare to say it as the first class drag coefficient of automobiles.
-In addition to the exhibition model named [Challenge I], concept cars of 1986 (Challenge II), 1987 (Challenge III), and 1988 (evolved version of Challenge III) have appeared.
--A total of 10 units were created from 1985 to 1988.
