Remember me?

this is the 2000 Lada (VAZ) Roadster by Sbarro.

I´ve filed another official pic of the Lada Peter Rodster (sic!) that seems to have been the basis for this Sbarro project:

When did this get moved to the Experts section? I never realised it was there, I've known this car for years. But can I ask where you have found information indicating that this is a Sbarro project? It is not mentioned on his website, and I've never heard anything about other involvement than Lada itself before.

That´s why I thought it is a Sbarro design:

Also, from AutoSoviet.com:

Above, we can see an interesting prototype presented at the Moscow Show 2000 (and also the Geneve Show): the  Lada "Roadster", designed with the help of the famous Swiss designer Franco Sbarro, and equipped with a 2000 16V engine, 150 cv. It has an electric roof similar to the Mercedes SLK or Peugeot 206 CC. The design, although shaped and square, is pleasant.
