Description

2008 Espera Sbarro Katana Concept-Car

No reserveUnregistered- One-off model - Concept car with VTEC engine! - Presented at the Geneva and Paris Motor Shows in 2008 - No reserve    Produced at the Espera Sbarro design school, founded by the famous designer Franco Sbarro, the Katana is a fully developed concept car, as it has a 160 bhp VTEC engine and can be driven.

The Katana was produced in association with Orange, who requested that the dashboard should be styled in such a way as to integrate a smartphone and incorporate a hands-free Bluetooth car radio, signalling the company’s desire to offer multimedia services meeting motorists’ communication needs.

With its spectacular design, the Katana attracted attention and was well received when it was presented at the Geneva and Paris Motor Shows in 2008.

The car is still in its original condition today and has never been restored; the engine has to be restarted and will require a service, while the brakes will need to be overhauled. No...
