10 weirdest cars ever made
As car enthusiasts, we all naturally worship beautiful, fast, and powerful cars. But there’s no denying that the automotive world has also brought forth so many peculiar cars that have their own unique appeal.
Let’s take a look at the 10 weirdest and strangest cars to ever roam the earth:
BMW Isetta
When talking about BMW, the image of sports sedans like the M3 and M5 instantly comes to mind. But did you know that in 1955, BMW made this egg-shaped car? Its door was located at the front, and when opened, the entire dashboard and steering wheel would move along with the door.
Peel P50
Another microcar on this list is the P50, produced by Peel Engineering Company in 1962. It had a door on the left side and could accommodate only one passenger. Interestingly, it can still be purchased today either fully assembled from the factory or as a kit car.
Stout Scarab
Dubbed the world’s first minivan, the Stout Scarab was the handiwork of former Ford employee and designer of the Ford Trimotor aircraft, William Bushnell Stout. Its engine was placed at the rear, and the cabin space could accommodate up to six passengers.
Polaris Slingshot
Polaris refers to the Slingshot as a motorcycle, but with two seats and a steering wheel, it’s no wonder many consider it a car. It is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 203 hp to the single rear wheel.
Amphicar
As you may have guessed from the name, the Amphicar is an amphibious car, meaning it can be used on both land and water. This German-made car uses its front tyres as rudders and can move at speeds of up to 7 knots.
Pea Car
Unlike the other cars on this list, the Pea Car is not a production model. Instead, it was designed by a London company to be used in a Birds Eye Peas television advertisement in 2005. It is said to have a Honda engine that allows it to reach speeds of up to 97 km/h.
Ferrari 512S Modulo
You probably didn’t expect a Ferrari to be on a list of weird cars, did you? Designed by Pininfarina, this car was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970. It has a wedge shape, a canopy roof that slides to enable egress and ingress, and a V12 engine producing 550 hp.
Fiat Multipla
Any list of weird or ugly cars would not be complete without the Fiat Multipla, which looks like two cars stacked on one another. From the outside, it may look strange, but we’re sure its interior space is quite generous, which is probably the only good thing about it.
Reliant Regal Supervan
A familiar sight to all Mr. Bean fans, the Reliant Regal Supervan gained its reputation as one of the weirdest cars in the world mainly due to its three-wheel configuration. The extraordinary setup made it very unstable, as often shown in the popular British sitcom.
Tesla Cybertruck
It goes without saying that the Cybertruck is the strangest vehicle ever produced. In terms of performance and features, we’re sure it’s quite impressive, but its highly angular exterior or “exoskeleton” looks like it was designed by a child who has just learned how to use a ruler.
