Even though most people have absolutely no chance of owning one of these cars, it doesn’t mean they aren’t fun to look at (or dream of!). These amazing supercars are so rare that you’ll probably never see one of them outside of this website or if you are lucky at an auto show.
While there is no definitive criteria that makes these cars “rare”, they do have some characteristics that we think puts them in this category. The fact that there were only a few produced, their vintage make, an exorbitantly high price tag, and extensive modifications to suit the tastes of rich customers are just a few of our reasons.
So go ahead and enjoy these amazing pieces of art.
