# Student-Sourced Electric Racers The Sbarro React'EV is Designed to Compete By Michael Hines | Published 2013-03-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sbarro-reactev References: [carbuzz](http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2013/3/8/Sbarro-React-EV-Zips-into-Geneva-7713318/) & [e-sbarro.fr](http://www.e-sbarro.fr/) It's okay if you thought that the Sbarro React'EV was going to be made of pizza. This concept car was created by students at the Espera Sbarro Montbéliard School of Design in Switzerland. Unlike the student-designed Alfa Romeo shown off at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the React'EV is actually functional and will be competing in a race in the near future. The Sbarro React'EV is powered by a [Peugeot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inception-ev) [V6](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gran-turismo-7) engine good for 210 horsepower. Two electric motors provide an additional 134 horsepower and 553 pounds of torque. The design isn't nearly as sleek as the Alfa Romeo Gloria, but it's certainly menacing and looks quite fast. The React'EV will be competing in an upcoming [EV rally in Monaco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formula-e-gen4). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Student-sourced Concept Cars:** Exploring the potential of student crowdsourcing for future car designs. - **Hybrid Electric Vehicles:** Incorporating both gasoline and electric engines to increase power for future car models. - **Electric Vehicle Racing:** A growing interest and investment in competitive electric car racing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** Incorporate student design projects for new car prototypes to stand out among competitors. - **Electric Car Manufacturing Industry:** Utilize hybrid engine technology for future car models to increase performance and fuel efficiency. - **Sports and Entertainment Industry:** Invest in electric car racing events to attract new audiences with innovative technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Italian Architecture-Inspired EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lancia-pura-hpe.md) - [Sporty Fully-Electric Vehicle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abarth-500e.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Concept Racing Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-nova.md) - [Compact Italian EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-abarth-500-ev.md) - [All-Electric Racecar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariya-singleseater.md) - [Electric Sporty Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-v.md) - [Electrified Retro Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-sports-car.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Supercar Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-a4810.md)
