2020 Laraki Sahara

Collector Story

Most enthusiasts can name a Bugatti, Koenigsegg, or Pagani.

Far fewer have ever stood in front of a Laraki.

This 2020 Laraki Sahara represents one of the rarest hypercars in the world. Founded in Morocco in 1999, Laraki set out to create a distinctly North African interpretation of the modern supercar—combining dramatic styling, handcrafted luxury, and Chevrolet V8 power.

The Sahara was commissioned to transform Laraki's Epitome concept into a road-going automobile. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter Chevrolet V8 producing 1,550 horsepower, it carries a claimed top speed of 248 mph and a 0–60 time of just 3.5 seconds.

What makes it truly remarkable isn't just the performance. Reportedly, only **two examples were built**, with a price tag exceeding **$2 million**, placing it among the rarest and most exclusive modern hypercars ever produced.

Sometimes the most interesting discoveries aren't the cars everyone recognizes.

They're the ones almost nobody has ever seen.
