The Toyota Prius had an option for a V8, rear wheel drive, and a manual transmission. However it was only sold at one dealer in Zimbabwe.
That dealer has since been shut down by Toyota.

That's becuase Toyota then tracked that one Prius down and parted it out..

Aha! There was a 101. Those Priuses also came with invisible paint, another unlikely Zimbabwe-only feature, which is why you always hear a V8, spin around, and see nothing.
