http://www.blogcdn.com/green.autoblog.com/media/2013/02/sbarro-react-ev-rear-250.pngA year ago, Espera Sbarro Montbéliard School of Design (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sbarro/) unveiled a two-seat, 137-horsepower, all-electric concept car called Intencity (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/08/sbarro-intencity-concept-geneva-2012/) at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/). Last September, the school showed off a V8-powered rear-wheel-drive hot rod (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/28/espera-sbarro-eight-concept-paris-2012/) with 360 horsepower called Eight at the Paris Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/). For this year's Geneva craziness, design house Sbarro (no relation to the Italian food chain) is shooting for a compromise of sorts by pitching a bit of plug-in hybrid-electric trickery.

Next week, Sbarro will show off what it calls the Réact' E.V. (for "Ecological Vehicle") in Geneva. The car will combine a 210-horsepower gas engine made by Peugeot (http://www.autoblog.com/category/peugeot/) with two 137-horsepower electric motors, so we're talking about a pretty speedy car here. Little surprise, then, that Sbarro says it'll enter the React 'EV, which has a 24-kWh battery, in the Monte Carlo Rallye of New Energies in late March.

We'll know more next week, but we've got a few more technical details in the press release below (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/02/26/sbarro-react-ev-racing-into-geneva/#continued).Continue reading Sbarro Réact' E.V. racing into Geneva (http://green.autoblog.com/2013/02/26/sbarro-react-ev-racing-into-geneva/)
