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 A110 uses a bespoke, turbocharged, 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine. The unit is rated at 252 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels.

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.
