Could I also nominate the Ferrari 308 GT/4
The same bits as the 308 GTS that Tom Selleck tail slided in Magnum's opening titles, but in a body styled by Bertone. They were unpopular used and depreciated a lot. A guy I knew at college spotted one on sale in Blackpool, Lancashire England and bought it for £8,500. He was the king for the 2 weeks the engine lasted.
He looked into rebuilding it after it went pop.
And then when he found the parts were special alloy castings only available from the Ferrari importers, the gearbox used "Unobtainium" bearings and the suspension would ride on dampers filled only with the finest Unicorn Farts he decided to dump it in a barn on his dad's farm from which it was scrapped.
Nowadays of course someone would fix the body and fit a V6 from something, probably Honda or Audi.
