Yet another easy point for this one out of "I can't believe this car hasn't been posted before" file - what is it, from when?

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE WILL BE BANNED FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD!

Quite so.
"SV" is for "Safety Vehicle" and it was powered by an NSU Ro80 rotary engine.
Here it is in orange:

re: "an NSU Ro80 rotary engine".  This may be the first example of Sbarro bolting multiple engines together for show cars.  The only SV-1 made was powered by two Ro80 engines bolted together, to give a 4-rotor rotary engine.
