!meD Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Besides Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche, many manufacturers have tried with varying degrees of success in the production of supercars. Back on twenty sports forgotten in our slideshow! [Updated on 04/10/2020 at 6:20 pm] Stuck at the concept stage, produced in only a few copies or simply fallen into oblivion for obscure reasons, these twenty supercars have never really had a great career . Or at least, will not have managed to cross the decades as was the case for others. Do you know the Volkswagen W12, the Bentley Hunaudières or the Dome Zero? No doubt some of them remind you of a vague memory? Don't panic if they don't tell you, that's normal. However, some had everything to please, such as the Jaguar XJR-15, based on the XJR-9 winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988. Sharing with it a 6.0-liter V12 of 450 horsepower, it was produced in only 50 copies between 1990 and 1992 and could then shoot 0 to 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds. It would therefore seem that adding the name Le Mans to the name of a model is not always a guarantee of success, as was the case for the Dauer 962 Le Mans, road version of the Porsche 962 which nevertheless won the event in 1986, 1987 and 1994. Unlike the star of the circuits, this series declination unfortunately fell into oblivion. Other manufacturers have also tried their luck in the coveted supercar segment, including Volkswagen, and its W12 concept. Unveiled in 1997 in Tokyo and also christened Nardo, it was available in three versions and equipped with an Audi W12 developing 600 horsepower. Equally unusual, the Ford GT90, presented in 1995 at the Detroit Motor Show. The one whose name sounded like a tribute to the GT40 then embarked under its hood a quad-turbo V12 with 720 horsepower, allowing it to reach 378 km / h. Despite a very relative celebrity, notably due to a not always easy physique, it was transposed in many video games, and in particular Need For Speed 2, Gran Turismo 2 or even Sega GT 2002.
