Lamborghini Sogna



No, this isn't some cobbled-together set piece from Bladerunner - what you're looking at is a reskinned Lamborghini Countach that was intended for sale to the public.

It was created in 1991 by Japanese tuner Ryoji Yamazaki, as a showpiece for that years Geneva Auto Show. He originally had plans to build a series of them, but possibly decided against it due to public reaction to the green monster. Looking somewhat like a Counch, Diablo and a frog thrown into a blender, it doesn't really have even one good angle.

It was for sale late last year for the low, low price of $3.1M USD, although I haven't seen any reports that it's sold yet. Remarkable, I know.
