- This weird concept combines elements from different vehicles
- The engine is borrowed from a Mercedes
- The wheels are from a Boeing jet

This monster concept combines a Land Rover and a Boeing 727 with a Mercedes V8 engine, and it’s made from Kevlar.
It’s called the Sbarro Monster G, and it’s a 38-year-old concept like we’ve never seen before.
It’s as if the manufacturer was trying to determine how many different elements from different vehicles could be glued together.
The result is outstanding, but also hilarious.

A one-off concept with Boeing wheels
The Sbarro Monster G was unveiled at the 1987 Geneva Motor Show as some sort of attention-seeking prototype.
The vehicle was built using a Land Rover platform but it’s 2.3 meters (7ft 5in) tall, partly because of the raised suspension, but also because, for some reason, the manufacturer gave it tires borrowed from a Boeing 727.
We can’t think of any other road vehicle with jet tires.
The engine is a Mercedes-sourced 6.9-liter V8 and the top speed was apparently 200km/h.

It was never tested, though.
So that’s probably just theoretical.
Unfortunately, but also understandably, this was just a one-off concept that never went anywhere.
It’s a shame but, quite frankly, entirely predictable.
We can’t think of a market segment for a V8 monster with Boeing wheels that’s over 2.3 meters tall.

The beauty of kit cars
The beauty of a kit car – which is what this is – is that you can do everything and anything you want with it.
We can think of a long list of kit cars that are awesome, from the Tesla-powered AC Cobra or the weird Lamborghini Gallardo Frankencar we mentioned a while back.
But there’s a difference between a kit car and a fake car.
Fake supercar replicas might seem a great idea, but they’re always troublesome to own and run.
And, more importantly, manufacturers hate it.
You’re probably better off getting the real deal anyway.
