Supercar producion is a high-level gamble for car manufacturers. When the car selling is successful, then it is definitely a big advantage will flow, at the same time will be an important legacy for the company.
Successful supercars widely known, because they got publications from various media. But what about the supercar production that failed. How many of them? Of course there were so many, but on this occasion will be discussed as much as 5 car production is overlooked. Let's see one by one,
5. Dome Zero
First introduced by Dome Co. Ltd. at the 1978 Geneva Motor Show and is intended to enliven the small sport car market. Dome Zero builds upon knowledge of the designer Minoru Hayashi. Unfortunately, the eccentric billionaire's dreams were dashed when the car failed homologation tests in Japan. The project was abandoned just like that.

4. Panther Six
The
car that has 6-wheeled was built in 1977 and equipped with 8.2-liter V8
Cadillac twin turbo engine, and claimed to be able to step on the gas
up to 322 kph (200.08 mph). The Panther Six is made in limited numbers, i.e. only 2
units (black & white). So far only one unit of the car seen in the
Middle East when the NEC Classic Car Show 2008.

3. Monteverdi Hai 450s
Same
with Phanter Six, this car also made only 2 units and was designed by
Peter Monteverdi. This car using the Chrysler Hemi V8 7.0-liter engine,
and could be burst 456 PS of power and a top speed of 290 kph (180.2 mph).
Initially, the car created to rival Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati.
Apparently, the German company that introduced not produce it anymore.

2. Gigliato Aerosa
Although Gigliato was a Japanese concern, its plan was to base itself in the UK and to become a serious rival to the established Italian design houses. That was back in 1994, when its rather attractive Aerosa was unveiled, powered by a Ford-sourced 3-litre V6. With a bit of tickling, a reliable 300bhp could be coaxed from this powerplant – but it was all academic, as by 1995 the project was history.

1. Isdera Commendatore 112i
Commendatore 112i is already well-known in the video game "Need for Speed II" and was designed by Isdera, the German company in 1993. The car that has a weighs of 1,450 kg, is able to sprint from 0-100 kph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 343 kph (213.13 mph).

Not only that, the car also has unique features, including a gull-wing doors style, electronically controlled chassis (down at high speed) and automatic air brake. Supercar which uses Mercedes-Benz V12 6.0-liter engine, that produced 408 PS of power, but after being introduced just disappeared like a winds.
