In the world of supercars, rarer is best. In certain geographical locations where supercars are commoner than taxis, just knowing it’s unlikely you’ll see a car like yours down at the local shops is more important than Nürburgring lap times.

So when a Porsche 918 or McLaren P1 is simply a touch too common for comfort, what does one buy? one among these…

When the Ferrari engineers were through with the Enzo, they handed over their cutting-edge chassis and engine to sister-company Maserati – few bad hand-me-downs. Maserati cloaked the carbon monocoque and V12 engine during a unique body, which was longer and fewer aerodynamically efficient than the Ferrari’s. The 205 mph supercar was dubbed ‘MC12’ and just 55 were built.

Pagani Zonda Revolucion

The last rendition of Pagani’s legendary Zonda supercar, the Revolucion boasts an 800hp 6.0-liter V12 and enough aerodynamic elements to form an LMP1 car look slightly limp. A sequential gearbox that will shift gears in only 20 milliseconds adds further racecar credentials and with just five alive the Zonda Revolucion certainly ticks the ‘rare’ box.

Lamborghini Veneno

Built as a 50th-anniversary gift to the Italian supercar marque, the Lamborghini Veneno is and an unhinged hypercar. With three coupes and three roadsters alive, this Aventador-based 740hp V12 monster is Lambo’s rarest and wildest creation yet.

Ferrari FXX

Based on the already exotic Ferrari Enzo supercar, the exclusive FXX may be a race-ready track-only prototype which was offered to thirty select Ferrari owners – including F1 legend Michael Schumacher. The FXX models are maintained and permanently stored at Ferrari’s Maranello HQ, and owners can drive it on target whenever they like.

Porsche 911 GT1

Back within the 90s, manufacturers competing within the Le Mans 24 hour race’s GT1 category were required to create a minimum of 25 street-legal homologation versions of their competing cars. The result was the Porsche 911 GT1. The road-racer wasn’t especially quick – certainly an extended way of the McLaren F1’s 231 mph top speed – but it looked menacing.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR

Built during an equivalent era and under equivalent rules because the Porsche 911 GT1, the CLK GTR was Mercedes-Benz’s street-legal Le Mans GT1 car. Looking vaguely just like the CLK coupe your grandparents drove, the GTR is powered by a huge 604hp 6.9-liter V12 and will do 199 mph. Twenty coupes and 6 roadsters were built between ’98 and ’99.

Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina

Based on the Ferrari Enzo, the P4/5 may be a one-off supercar built by Italian design house, Pininfarina, and commissioned by James Glickenhaus. Effectively a re-bodied Enzo, the Italian creation drew inspiration from Glickenhaus’ own Ferrari 330 P3/4 and is claimed to possess cost $4m to create.

Koenigsegg One:1

Named after its biblical power to weight ratio, Koenigsegg’s quickest ever model boasts one metric horsepower for each one kilogram of weight. A twin-turbo V8 radiates 1340hp, while extensive use of lightweight carbon fiber means the One:1 tips the scales at (you guessed it) 1340kg. The Swedish supercar firm claims top speed isn’t the car’s priority, but theoretically it could still manage 275 mph. Just six of those super-fast Swedes will ever be built.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Another carbon fiber-obsessed creation, the Sesto Elemento weighs just 999kg and is powered by a 570hp V10 engine. All-wheel-drive traction means it’ll hit 62 mph in only 2.5 seconds and only twenty Sesto Elementos exist.

Hennessey Venom GT

The Hennessey Venom GT is totally mental. A hairy-chested, no-nonsense speed machine that creates the Bugatti Veyron look tame, the Venom is ruthless in its pursuit of speed. Hennessey’s monster is capable of 270 mph, because of a 1244hp 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 which is attached to a six-speed manual transmission with rear-wheel drive.

The devilishly fast Venom is undoubtedly one among the scariest supercars ever produced – the very fact that it’s loosely supported a Lotus Exige adds thereto further. Eleven Venom GTs are built thus far with a complete production run of 29 planned.
