Unicorn Cars


Let's take a look at a few "unicorn cars" I saw while out and about recently. While a couple stand out from the crowd, sometimes some cars are what I call "incognito unicorns" and are actually far more uncommon than they appear, such as the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid.

Believe it or not, here we have one of the most uncommon, modern-day car unicorns out there: The 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. While likely not a collectible, spotting one (or an equally rare Durango Hybrid) is quite... Well, rare...

The Aspen/Durango hybrids used a 2 mode hybrid system that was jointly developed by GM, Chrysler, Daimler and BMW paired to a HEMI V8 and electric motors for a combined 385 HP. MPGs were rated at 19 city/20 highway - a marked improvement, believe it or not, over regular HEMI Aspens and Durangos (13/18).


About 400 (of both models) total rolled off the assembly line before the factory where the SUVs were produced was shut down.

This here... I'm not quite sure what the owner was going for... But it looks like this is an old school Beetle modded for off road use. Your impressions? Anyone up for some high-speed dune jumps?
To tell you the truth, I'm at a loss here haha. Not sure what this is, plus, it being nighttime didn't help... Any ideas? Gotta love those restored classic and historic cars however!

Have you seen any unicorn cars lately? Comment if so. ROLL ON!

  1. These are really unique cars that will not suit everyone, especially if you are going to buy your first car. One of the main services that a future car owner should know is https://www.faxvin.com/. This will let you know the whole truth about the car, which in turn will let you know if you need to buy this car. Often, such unique cars do not have data about their past, so the purchase of such cars must be for the purpose of collecting.
