Geneva ‘73 - 50 Years on Sbarro SVI, 1973. Franco Sbarro displayed for the first time at Geneva in 1973 but made the most of it with the Safety Vehicle 1 concept in addition to the Tiger. Whereas the Tiger was based on a earlier Bertone concept, the SVI was all his own work. The interior was strengthened by a concealed roll-cage and the car came equipped with sprinklers that activated in the event of a crash to prevent fire. Most extraordinary of all it was powered by two NSU twin rotor Wankel engines producing a combined 300hp. Failing to attract any buyers, the car was displayed again in 1974 repainted red.
i am SO excited for atsv because when miles inevitably goes through the classic spiderman sacrifice of personhood arc, it'll be unlike the million other times we've seen it before. spiderman, and most superheros, are usually known for their scientific genius, and especially in peter parkers case, that ties DIRECTLY into his spidermanning. peter doesn't have ambitions past being spiderman and defending the city. he was an aimless teenager when he got his powers, and anything coming close to a hobby is usually monetized (photography) or put into his vigilantism. when peter goes through his sacrifice of personhood arc, it's all sacrifice of relationships with other people. and usually it's the job of those side characters to bring him back to himself, and he doesnt often do any soul sesrching beyond "i guess i love mj enough to not let myself be completely consumed by spiderman." but miles is an artist. he exists separately of spiderman. his sacrifice of personhood (I'm guessing in spiderverse 2) will include sacrifice of his artistry, and he'll have to come to the conclusion himself that his art, and his personhood, is worth saving.
