Only one correct answer for this thread: Isdera 
quote:
John DeLorean was involved with a company called The Louisiana Motor Company Inc. Initially he was said to be a consultant involved in nogotiating with Govenor Edwin Edwards and officials from the city of Monroe about building an assembly plant there. By late June of '87 the German publication DIE WELT was saying that John was planning a venture in West Germany to produce the Isdera in Louisiana. None of it ever amounted to anything but the one Isdera built was pretty nice to look at. It was to sell for about $140,000 with an annual production of 75 to 100 cars.

Something about niche supercars is just relentlessly depressing. Panteras, Consuliers, Deloreans, Bricklins... oof. Feel bad for the rich idiots who dump all that cash just for the privilege of saying "no" to "is that a Ferrari?"
