What do you mean, normal Joes aren't scouring the internet for the latest deals on exotics from Italy?


The Lamborghini Fenomeno is a brilliant machine. It debuted late last year at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, and will find homes in just 29 collections worldwide. It boasts the most powerful Lamborghini V12 ever, producing 823 horsepower, paired with three electric motors for a combined 1,065 horsepower. It can run from 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds and carry on to a top speed north of 217 mph.


It also tied for 366th place as one of the least researched vehicles in America last month— I am Jack's complete lack of surprise!

As usual, Audi models make up a large portion of the list of the least researched vehicles in America, holding down eight spots (out of 21). The model that stands out is the all-new Audi A5, which was recently redesigned and is a player in the luxury sedan market that competes against bread-and-butter models from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

We mentioned the Lamborghini Fenomeno already, and it’s not surprising to see a super expensive exotic with an ultra-low production run on a list like this, which we created using data provided exclusively to AutoGuide via AutoFinder.com — an automotive marketplace featuring over 3 million new and used vehicle listings, connecting consumers with top dealerships nationwide to easily find and secure the best deal on a car, truck, or SUV.


Other models, including the Toyota Camry Hybrid (all Camry models are hybrids now) and Mitsubishi Mirage G4, are common sights on the road but are no longer in production.
