We are always on the lookout for unusual and fast cars so we dug around and and found some really cool cars you’ve probably never heard of. There are a number of limited-production automakers out there producing some pretty unique cars for the a very niche market. You may have heard of one or two of these but you may not have seen them all.

Renault Alpine A110

The original A110 made its debut in 1962 and went on to achieve 1-2-3 finishes in the 1971 and 1973 Monte Carlo Rallys, before capturing the World Rally Championship. Unfortunately the company struggled and Alpine was taken over by Renault in 1973. Now the all new A110 is gunning for the Porsche Cayman but unfortunately is not available Stateside.

The unit is rated at 252 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels.

Donkervoort D8 GTO-RS

Donkervoort’s latest iteration is called the D8 GTO.

Thanks to a new suspension, the GTO-RS has a wider track width, benefits of which include a stronger grip on the front axle. The brake system was also completely redeveloped.

The SHERP ATV is the ultimate go anywhere all terrain vehicle and it floats. The Sherp is powered by a Japanese Kubota-V1505-t turbo-diesel engine, paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. This 1.5L 4-cylinder only produces 44.2 horsepower, and 88 ft-lbs of torque, and it can reach a top speed of 27.9 mph on land and 3.7 mph on water.

It floats perfectly, can easily navigate marshes and deep snow and is able to move out of the water onto the ice. Prices start at $65,000.
