Franco Sbarro is known for his bizarre and imaginative creations, and his training school for automobile technicians, the Espera-Sbarro, is located in Franche-Comté (France). It produces numerous designers and creators of genius. The Citroen Picasso Cup came out of those workshops, commissioned directly by Citroen. A provocative project, it turned a typically family car into a sports car ready to be taken to the track. Presented in Geneva, it was prepared by the Sbarro team in less than three months. Impressive were the gull-wing doors.
