  • I bet that every time you see a parked sports car, you dream of taking that beauty for a

  • thrilling ride.

  • Am I right?

  • But did you know there are some infrequent cars, even the wealthiest people cannot put

  • their hands on, because there just isn't enough of them?

  • In this video, we'll show you the top 5 rarest sports cars you'll probably never see on the

  • road.

  • Texas-based car manufacturer Hennessey built an absolutely gorgeous car on its 25th anniversary,

  • called Venom GT, which owes its stunning looks to the modified Lotus Exige chassis.

  • Its 7-liter V8 engine could produce a crazy 1,451 horsepower and 1,287 lb-ft of torque,

  • which allowed it to go as fast as 265.7 mph.

  • In 2013, beautiful Venom GT earned the Guinness World Record for the fastest road-legal car,

  • as it can accelerate from 0 to 300 kph in just 13.63 seconds.

  • Based on its attractiveness & powerful engine, the car was sold for 1.2 million dollars,

  • but that shouldn't surprise us for such a powerhouse, and if you're a car lover, you

  • simply can't take your eyes off this one.

  • Aston Martin always delivers excellence with their automotive design capabilities, but

  • there was one particular time they flexed it pretty hard.

  • In 2009's Geneva Motor Show, they presented Aston Martin One-77 - a two-seater flagship

  • sports car cooked with a complete carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a stunning aluminum

  • body.

  • The One-77 also carried a powerful engine boasting 750 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque,

  • thus achieving the maximum speed of 220mph.

  • As the name suggests, Aston Martin built only 77 units and sold each of them for 1.6 million

  • dollars, but one of them was later involved in a car accident, so yeah!, there are only

  • 76 One-77s left.

  • Speaking of car accidents, do you recall this scene from the Fast and Furious 7?

  • Well, you finally found the car!

  • It's Lykan HyperSport, a stunningly fast and beautiful result of collaboration between

  • Italian and Lebanese engineers that offers a top speed of 245 mph.

  • With the beastly twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine, the car can go from 0 to 60 mph acceleration

  • just within 2.8 seconds!

  • Only seven units of the exotic car were ever produced, but they did make a whopping 3.4

  • million dollars per piece from each sale.

  • Suppose Jason Statham won't be shooting at you while you drive this beast, it doesn't

  • sound like a bad deal at all.

  • It will be an incomplete list if there's no mention of a rare Italian sports car.

  • Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale was a vintage art produced in 1967 as a street-legal variant of another

  • sports car, the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33.

  • On top of its enticing look, just listen to the crazy exhaust note of this superb vehicle.

  • It is one of the rarest cars that you may ever see on the road, as only two prototypes

  • were ever made, and only six chassis were converted into concept cars.

  • But wait till you hear about the next two!

  • Back in the 90's popular car manufacturers had taken over the luxury racing car market.

  • Therefore, to compete with these giants, Porsche came up with the Porsche 911 GT1.

  • Porsche built this majestic car from scratch with an absolute aim to gain market share

  • for themselves and improve the brand identity.

  • 911 GT1 Strassenversion is a road-legal version of the vehicle that creates 537 hp and 443

  • lb-ft of torque while reaching the maximum speed of 191.4 mph.

  • It is also an extremely rare car with historical significance as it is a direct predecessor

  • to the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1-98.

  • Even though Homologation rules required Porche to only create 25 units of the product, just

  • 20 units of the car made it to the production.

  • Therefore there's a higher chance that you'll be struck by lightning than you'll ever see

  • one of these beasts on the road.

  • Have you ever seen any of these cars in your life?
