Which oddball supercars tickle your fancy....
Discussion
I can't believe anyone actually likes the horrific mess of bling that constitutes the Spyker interior. Its like it can't decide whether to be a fancy yacht or something hanging around Mr T's neck.
Is this oddball enough? Always thought they looked cool from some angles but a bit awkward from others:

then for in the winter (if you can call this a supercar),
A garage in Alderley Edge had one of these for sale several years ago. I had to go & have a look at it for a nosey & the build quality was terrible - some of the panel gaps were that bad you could almost fit your hand in at one end of the panel yet at the other end the 2 panels were almost overlapping
I got chatting to the bloke selling it & according to him, around town it would do between 1-3 mpg if you were a bit keen with the right foot. Not sure I'd want to be putting winter tyres on it either. Sounded immense though when he started it up

Not as oddball as many on here but the Gumpert Apollo for me.
I remember reading a detailed article about the design and construction of the Apollo and thinking if my numbers ever come up I'm going to have to give that a try
I love how unapologetically agressive/ugly it is.
Hated this when it came out but it's starting to appeal to me now, the interior is still poor though. Along with the Edionis and Ascari are they still operating? There's a few low quality youtube clips of the edionis but the the sound of thoses turbos is tingling.I remember reading a detailed article about the design and construction of the Apollo and thinking if my numbers ever come up I'm going to have to give that a try

Not sure how to "google reverse image".....

As for the tyres, I hear that they were 345/60 R17 and had special lips around the edge for desert driving, only Pirelli used to make them (the size is unique to the car) and that they cost $2500 each! Having been out of production for decades, I'm not sure what current owners do these days other than fit the next nearest size they can lay their hands on
