| Whats the rarest car you know about? I think we all know about a rare model of car that few people have heard of. Here is my unknown star performer.
It is called the DAX Kamala it is a kit car made by DAX. The gearstick is on the right of the driver as this is where the gearbox is located although the car is a left hand drive.
With a Cosworth engine you can get to 60mph in just 3.5 seconds and the kit cost is about £13,000 plus an old cosworth donor car.

| Re: Whats the rarest car you know about? i would have to say the Gumpert Apollo race car made by the competitions chief of audi when they were making the quattro for rally http://www.arikah.net/commons/en/c/c...ollo_Dubai.jpg
The Apollo is a 1100 kg, street-legal race car with up to 650 hp and 627 lb·ft of torque. sporting a 4.2L audi V8 with a six-speed sequential gearbox. The estimated top speed is 224 mph with 0–62 mph reached in 3.0 seconds, making it the 9th best accelerating production car in the world.
