Crazy Vehicle

The 1968 Marcos Mantis XP looked quite out-of-place at its debut during the Spa 24 Hours race in Belgium.  Flanked by the curvy Fords, Porsches and Ferraris of the late 60s, this odd and angular beast represented the hopes of a British boutique manufacturer who was fighting for footing in the performance car market.  The Mantis XP failed the Spa race due to electrical problems, and has been shelved since then until its recent resurrection by a careful restoration in California.  The 1968 Marcos Mantis XP is truly one-of-a-kind, and its strange styling makes it one of the most visually striking automobiles we’ve seen in 2010  The late 1960s represented a special time in the world of automobiles.  This was the time of Ford GT40, the time of the Speed Racer saga, when a dual focus on futurism and muscle were prevalent in performance vehicles.  The Marcos Mantis XP fit this formula well, as its future-forward design and muscle-heavy heartbeat earned it...

The Lamborghini Egoista is a one-of-a-kind concept car... really. There's only one in the entire world. The car was unveiled for Lamborghini's 50th anniversary and its name—Egoista—literally translates to "selfish." This one-seater has a cockpit that's modeled after a modern fighter jet, and that steering wheel? It needs to be removed every time you enter and exit the vehicle. It's all made of carbon fiber, aluminum, and aeronautical-spec anti-radar material. Design chief Walter De Silva says, "It represents hedonism taken to the extreme. It is a car without compromises.” It costs in the millions to produce... But you'll never get to feel the adrenaline of driving this one-of-a-kind vehicle. It's currently housed in the Lamborghini Museum in Italy. Though if you do visit the museum to see the Egoista, you may just get a whiff of this 600 hp car. That alone may satisfy the motorhead in you!
