The Alfa Romeo Bertone BAT 11 is a concept car that looks straight out of a scifi movie. But this is real, and it's actually going into production, albeit a really limited production. We're talking a run of 25 to 50 cars, each of them costing more than your house.

Looks like someone tried to update the Giulietta Sprint Speciale (or maybe even the Disco Volante) but got horribly, horribly lost along the way.
