Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche RougeLike Facebook
The Espera Sbarro automotive design school showed up to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show with a couple of their more recent creations. As usual they were pretty bonkers, and again, as usual, the cars were built by a team of students guided by their tutors.
The Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge (Red Arrow) is one of their more impressive designs of recent times. Some of the Sbarro concepts can be a bit too like Wacky Racers to be taken seriously – the Sbarro Autobau is a good example. But the Fleche Rouge sits perfectly on the intersection between outrageous and awesome.
Admittedly it does look a bit like the Lamborghini Aventador J, but part of that could just be the color choice. In reality the two cars are very different.

Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge
The Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge was styled to look a little like a Le Mans 24 Hour racer crossed with a fighter jet and a bit of Batmobile thrown in for good measure. The bodywork is made up from both fiberglass and carbon fiber panels.
Powering the Fleche Rouge concept is a mid-mounted 156 horsepower, 1.6 litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine from the Citroen DS3. That’s not much considering how extreme the car looks. But in a car weighing just 900 kgs (1,984 lbs) it should make for an entertaining drive at the very least.

Like Facebook “Have you ever been to Brazil?” is a common question amongst pale twenty-somethings that have been to the Brazillian  Carnaval  or New Year’s and come back with a few venereal diseases under their belt (so to speak).  Brazil has much more to offer than hedonistic festivals and pristine beaches though. It’s also home to nearly 200 million people, many of whom ride two wheelers everyday as the ideal form of personal transport.  Italian brand, Benelli, has recently announced the opening of 12,500 square meters of additional factory space to the existing 100,000 square meters of space at the Bramont Motorcycle facility in Manaus. The additional manufacturing capacity will be utilized to facilitate the production of all models of Benelli and Keeway two-wheeled products for the South American market. It makes sense that Benelli sees potential for the growth of its business in not only Brazil, but also the South American market in general. Like t...

Being one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world certainly says something about the success of the motor company’s development model. So, when the representatives at a Harley new model press briefing mention styling first, it should come as no surprise. Reintroducing a model that was first released in 1977 (at Daytona Bike Week, no less) after it has been on a five year hiatus, ...
