Sbarro Monster G

Powered by a 350hp M100 6.3 too! Sadly no engine pix that I’ve found (yet)!

That is one strange looking car!

Pretty cool, however I can’t see a full size spare, so Brian is out!

Video of the Monster G at 18:05s! Not quite sure what to make of the under bonnet footage....

The screen shots seem to indicate a relatively standard 6.3 without a custom intake. Not sure if the headers & exhaust mods alone would achieve 350hp. According to the Beyond 2000 story with host Amanda Keller the one of one car cost the wealthy owner a cool $240,000.00 way back then! Sbarro only chose specific customers with very deep pockets & declined many other projects.

I don’t think headers and exhaust would take you to 350hp on a 6.3. Was only worth about 20-25hp when they did it to the 560 engine.

I think it was common back then to make all sorts of claims and people believed them without the need to back it up with any hard evidence!

the monster g was made for my dad and this is the first time i see him actually sitting in the car. he told me a lot about it. there is an article about the car in the 1989 playboy of may which i gifted him for his 60th birthday. that article was the only real "proof" i had since now (because they say his name in there). and now i actually see him in that car... thank you i guess haha

Wow that’s amazing! Do you have any more pix of the car? I’d be especially interested in the engine….

That was Amanda Keller in the 'Beyond 2000' series on TV.
Wasn't she a good sort as the Godfather would say.
