Recently, Ask Men put together a Top 10 list of supercars that should be more affordable given our current economy. Their list of high-performance and exotic cars is a great snapshot of the kind of elevated and extreme pricing of this class of car.

As it currently stands, there is only one Bertone Mantide in the world. You would think that the owner of a $2 million prototype would keep the car safely tucked away in a special garage as a kind of trophy piece and never place it in harm's way.
