Default Rare cars and concepts

Just post some of your favorite cars that had limited production or concepts.

1991 Caspita Jiotto


1983 Dome Zero



1998 Nissan R390 GT-1


1995 ford GT90



1997 Volkswagon W-12



1990 BMW Nauzca M12


1993 BMW Nauzca C2



1997 Italdesign Schighera


1999 Bentley Hunaudieres


These are some of my favorites because of when they were created. Styling that's above even today's standards.

2001 Toyota Volta Hybrid




A supercar wit a top speed of 180 mph and gets 80 mp/g and seats 3!

yeah 3000GTs are pretty common but the VR-4 isn't. The Vr-4 is the one with All-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering, a twin turbocharged V6 making 300hp, only manual, and has a top speed of 166mp/h. It has some things from the Bugatti too, like at 50mp/h the car lowers itself 2 inches, the front spoiler lip lowers an inch and the rear spoiler raises 3 inches.

A fully loaded Vr-4 coupe was around $48,000 new and the spyder was up to $60,000+! Now the Vr-4s are worth about $15k for a 1991 or so and the newer ones are worth about $22,000 or so. The spyders are selling for about $30,000 but in a few years that value will rise.
