Dome Zero

The dome Zero was a car that nobody suspected from the Japanese in 1978. It looked crazy, crazier then a Lamborghini Countach to exact. It never left the factory unlike the Countach for some very good and bad reason. Some of those reasons where for example the fact that Japan had very strict rules on cars witch Dome could not fulfill do to lack unlike the other mainstream  Japanese automakers. They also made a race edition to race at the 24 hour Le Mans race, but the Zero did not finish and only managed last place a year latter, so the project was dropped. Even if the Zero had made it off the factory floor there was the lack of power. It only had Nissan 2.8 liter I6 which produced 145hp but the car itself only weighed 2,028 giving it a power to weight ratio equivalent to the Porches of the day. The Zero was to be offered for $32,820 back in 1980.
