This isn't really a production car, but it looks so crazy I wish I knew more. Google really didn't yield any results. The tumblr page (which is the only thing at shows up in Google Images,) but it's called the Honda HA-3R 6.6.

I think it was some custom one off thing. I don't think it was a race car, I think it was some crazy road car build.

Well guys. I think I've figured it out. And it's a Honda Acty.
Chassis code HA3, original images say 'acty' in their address. Kei car based as these builds usually are. I could be wrong though.

It would help if the blog it had originated from wasn't down. I can only go by what I have found, and potentially predates K4GP. HA3 is the chassis code to the Honda Acty, all original images are labeled "acty" so I just put 2 and 2 together.

The Subaru Legacy Sport Sedan Turbo, I just learned of its existance now. From what I can think of it, I guess it's a US-Spec Legacy RS Turbo. I need to look up more about it I suppose.

Well, it's very... round, even moreso than the normal Viper. Then again, it is a Colani design, so that should not be surprising to anyone including me.
That frontend, however, is rather bug-eyed. Actually, it's very bug-eyed; those headlights are one of the biggest pair of headlights I've ever seen. And the car is rather happy about it, if you look at it from the front...

BT -> So I stepped in to SEMA this week, and I didn't know that the 5th-gen Viper had a roadster, until I saw one in person!!! 
Dodge/SRT Viper GTS Medusa '14 (1 of 10 made, this one is #6)
^ Apologies for the dump, but since I'll never see a Viper of this kind anymore...might as well, right?

Put that damn thing out of its misery. It's basically begging for you to just wreck it so it doesn't have to go on.

1934-1939 Mercedes-Benz G4 (W31)
Yes, a 1930s Mercedes-Benz off-roader. Three axles, three rows of seating. Choice of engines were 5.0L, 5.3L or a 5.4L I8. Drivetrain was selectable; 4WD at the rear or a full-on 6x6.
57 were produced and they were designed as staff cars for the Wehrmacht. The army found that they were too expensive so the ruling Nazi Party used them instead.

I saw one of those in an episode of "Get Smart" once, or at least a Mercedes that looked like it.

Watching a 1987 issue of Best Motoring, there was a feature on the 1987 Tokyo Motor Show:
1987 Subaru F-624 Estremo
1985 Subaru F-9X
1985 Subaru ACX-II
1987 Subaru Jo-Car
1991 Subaru Hanako
1987 Daihatsu TA-X80
Now that's a list of "unique and futuristic concept ideas 101" right there, and a great proof of the Japanese's creativity at that too.
The Subaru ACX-II is basically what the Alcyone XT coupe would eventually become, the Jo-car looks like a car which Noddy would be confortable in and the Hanako is a surprisingly cute kei-coupe, it's a shame that it never became a production car, I'd sure buy it (I am a sucker for small Japanese coupes, in case you didn't know). Although I could say that it has a few Vivio genes somewhere...
And Daihatsu's... man, if the TA-X80 is anything to go by, then their Vision GT could be something special for the brand. It's definitely not the sort of car you expect from a manufacturer who focuses mostly on small city cars, I can say that much.

I've seen the Jo-Car and TA-X80 on Jalopnik many times.

The Ford OSI 20M TS. It reminds me of the ISO Grifo.
