2. Mitsuoka Orochi

One of the world’s most obscure supercars comes from Japan in the form of the Mitsuoka Orochi. It was a cool-looking two-seater with Lamborghini doors and a controversial design. The Mitsuoka company was famous for building resto moded cars based on regular models. However, in 2006 they decided to enter the supercar market with the highly exclusive Orochi.

They named the car after a mythical Japanese dragon with eight heads that influenced the design of the car. Even though they based the Orochi on the Honda NSX platform, it’s powered by a Toyota 3.3-liter V6 engine with 240 HP. This car is light and nimble, so the performance is satisfying, to say the least. They never intended to sell the Orochi outside of Japan or some selected Asian markets, especially not in the U.S.

1. Tatra MTX V8

Defunct Czech car company Tatra produced luxury sedans behind the Iron Curtain. But in 1991, a group of young, talented engineers decided to make a supercar using race technology and a Tatra V8 engine. And they named the result the Tatra MTX V8. Tatra revealed the car at the Prague Motor Show. The MTX V8 received many orders, but production proved to be difficult, so they canceled the project. They only completed four cars, which is a shame. The MTX V8 never got a chance to race against Ferraris, Porsches, or Maseratis.
