Unknown Ferrari spotted in Germany/ Austria

Very interesting. The Ferrari badge looks crooked? Did you get the VIN??

 

Interesting. I'd say: Some sort of "kit" car, and the owner has a a lot of fun with people wondering about what kind of Ferrari it is. However, the design of the rear end, while not really beautiful, looks to professional for the usual kit car makers (compare i.e. to the Ultima). However, the design is not professional enough to be from one of the big names. Really strange.


Btw, welcome aboard!

 

I think its credible, rear tires/whole suspension setup looks right. The 'enzo' doors and 360 mirrors are also interesting.

 

Strange indeed...reminds me of an Ascari. Did you get any side profile shots?

I vote kit car...

Ferrari script looks like it was carelessly torn off a mondial...

Then there is the obvious... what are the odds of a real ferrari custom flying under the radar, to be spotted in the wild?

 

Given the doors it might be Enzo based like Jim's car but the idea that it wouldn't be known before this is highly unlikely.

 

Wrong! It's the Sbarro Alcador and based on a 360 Modena

 

We have a winner!

 

Never heard of it....

Far too beautiful to be a Sbarro car!!! Wasn't the Alcador that fugly .... thing based on the Testarossa?

 

Sorry my fault, the full name is Sbarro Alcador II GTB and has a V8. It was built in 2008 and modified in 2009.

The first Alcador was based on a TR and built in 3 examples.


Here's is the text from Franco Sbarro's website:

"In 1995, Franco Sbarro presented the Alcador, a superb machine whose particularity was the ventilation system of the engine. The owner, a German, asked Franco Sbarro to design a new model: the GTB Alcador, presented in Geneva in March 2008.
The two cars have no link between them. The 1995 Alcador was based on a Ferrari Testarossa, which it took over the chassis, the trains and V12 engine. The Alcador GTB is based on a Ferrari 348 GTB: V8 engine, centrally positioned and pushed about 400 horses, with improved braking 8 piston calipers, larger wheels with 20 inch rims OZ.
The body is classic. The owner wanted a car less exuberant than the first Alcador. However the GTB has opening doors in elytra and a strong visual presence. Some observers found the air of family with the Ferrari 330 P4 1967 (a car that Franco Sbarro knows for working on it and then made a superb replica). As the Turbo S20, the lights are taken from the Fiat Seicento and the Smart Coupé.
After a first exhibition at the Geneva Motor Show 2008, the Alcador GTB was presented at the Essen 2008. The owner had meanwhile placed Ferrari badges which were overshadowed by a black adhesive at Essen : he didn't want to irritate Ferrari!
The name Alcador is just the first syllable of the name of the owner's daughters: Aline, Catherine and Dorine."

and this is the car we have here:

"The Alcador GTB presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2009 is an evolution of the 2008 model. Instead of the V8 from the Ferrari 348, Franco Sbarro installed the most recent V8 360 Modena. Unchanged, it develops 400 horses.
This second version of the GTB Alcador differs externally from the first 4 entries by air either side of the front and a redesigned rear.
A third version of the GTB Alcador was presented in Geneva in 2009: the LO with a 12-cylinder engine Testarossa."

That is, indeed, the 2001 360 Modena F1-based Alcador GTB by Sbarro, s/n 125009.

 

thanks for the s/n

 

To each his own. But for me, I'd rather have a 360...

 

Eurolamarossa?
