Taking a car like the Ferrari 360 Modena and trying to improve it with a bold new design can result in one of two outcomes. One is that the resulting car becomes an absolute masterpiece, while the other is that it turns into an incomprehensible version of what was once a great supercar. We’re not entirely sure if this Sbarro Alcador GTB falls into the second category, but it certainly doesn’t resemble the donor car.
First introduced at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the Sbarro Alcador GTB was commissioned by the Lienhard family, and only three units appear to have been produced. One of these recently entered the used car market on Mobile.de in Germany. While it looks very different from the standard 360, it is much more expensive, with an asking price of 395,000 euros ($422,000)—a high amount considering used 360s are available in Germany for about 70,000 euros ($74,838).

What sets the Alcador GTB apart from the car it’s based on is its completely new body, which bears no resemblance to the 360. The front features turn signals similar to those on the TVR Tuscan. The unique body continues along the sides, where Sbarro redesigned the doors, mirrors, and the shape of the glass partition.
The Alcador GTB’s roof differs from the 360’s mainly because the car’s butterfly doors swing open. The rear is as bold as the front and sides, including a glass engine cover, large air intakes, special taillights, a uniquely shaped bumper, and four exhaust pipes.
As far as we know, the 3.6-liter V8 from the 360 Modena remains unchanged in performance, i.e., it produces 394 hp (400 PS) and 275 lb-ft (373 Nm) of torque.
