With such a long history of groundbreaking technology, it should come as no surprise that some older Nissan models were built with a few tricks up their hypothetical sleeves.

From 1978 until 2000, the Japanese automaker was producing an eclectic, subcompact car called the Pulsar GTi-R. This wild looking hatchback was created specifically for rally racing and had an all-wheel-drive powertrain. What could be so strange about it? It had a hidden compartment located on the driverâ€™s side doorframe with a full-size umbrella inside. The only other transport that has a similar feature is the Rolls Royce Phantom.

Although itâ€™s no longer in production, Nissanâ€™s domination on the track didnâ€™t end there. The new 2018 GT-R is the worldâ€™s fastest street-legal vehicle. It does not have a concealed parasol anywhere, but it does have a 3.8-liter V6 engine that puts out 565 hp and 467 pound-feet of torque.

Its front fascia generates a stronger downforce, while side skirts and a rear wing allow it to cut through the air. Equipped with lightweight forged alloy wheels and Nismoâ€™s aggressive suspension, this sleek beast can beat the best competitors.
