If you believed you have seen all kind of strange looking car, think again! At the Geneva Motor Show, Sbarro unveiled the Autobau concept. And yes, it is one of a kind!

The Sbarro Autobau is powered by a 12-cylinder engine from Ferrari that deliver a total of 500 hp and weights 1500 kilos. The concept was designed in honor of Fredy Lienhard, the Swiss race car driver that won the 24 Hours of Zolder in 1997 and 24 Hours of Daytona in 2002.

So, what do you think? Would be nice to see it on the streets?

A wrap-up of the hybrids at 2010 Geneva International Motor Show.

If in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show Zagato brought a first concept version of the Perana Z-One sports car, this year at the same show the company brought the production version ready. The Perana Z-One will be the first sports car to come from South African and will have an estimated price of $65,000. Zagato hopes to build around 100 units a year.

It’s powered by a GM-sourced 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 440 hp. No word yet if this rear-wheel drive car also borrows other bits from GM’s part’s bin, but we do know that weight is down to a svelte 2634 lbs. This should be good for a 0 to 60 mph time in about 4 seconds.
