Top 7 Cool but TERRIBLE Cars

There are cars, and then there are cool cars. Those that star in the movies, pose as our wallpapers, hang from the bedroom walls, and generally have that mythical aura of badassery.
But the truth is: some of these cool cars are not as good as we think they are. In fact, they suck. Badly!

So the Countach is basically a riced car from the factory ... I guess that makes sense.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

They weren’t shit, they were cars from the 60’s and 70’s. Cars back then weren’t as well made as today, that’s especially true for Italian cars. Those cars were more about being pieces of jewelry or art rather than a mass produced machine built for reliability. When Volkswagen bought Lamborghini in the late 90’s, they significantly improved the quality but at the cost of a part of their identity.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

Prakrit Biswas I agree for both of your statements. Believe or not but my favorite Ferrari of all time isn’t the La Ferrari nor the 250 Gto, it’s the 348. Yes the poor man’s Ferrari. Maybe these cars appeal to me because I’m also in my early twenties but I really believe they’re worth it. And yes Volkswagen made the Lamborghini brand looks kinda bland imo. They’re overly aggressive and fast I got it, but in the same way I don’t really care for these cars.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

Prakrit Biswas I can’t agree more, although there’s definitely a marketing reason to start making hybrid hypercars, it also nullifies most of the things that make a supercar/ hypercar interesting and exciting. Since the 488, I just don’t care anymore about these cars. I would rather own an older supercar rather than these ones. That being said, I recently drove a 458 and it was pretty disappointing to be fair. It wasn’t as raw and connected to the road as I thought I would be. Also, am I the only person that thinks most of the cars now kinda look childish and way too aggressive looking ? They look like toys.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

Prakrit Biswas I think the mid 2000’s up to 2014-15 were the last few years of great looking cars. The race to efficiency is sure important but it’s useless for any high performance car. I would rather own a Caterham or built a project car these days than owning a modern sport car.

My buddy had a King Cobra and WOULD NOT line up against my V8 Chevy Monza.

[@Calilasseia]

Item one. When the Lamborghini Countach first appeared, it had a single uninterrupted curved roofline, which was Marcello Gandini's intention from the start. To see what he was thinking, look up the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car, which pioneered this single-curve roofline, and the Alfa Romeo Carabo, which is possibly the apotheosis of his "spaceship wedge" era, and whose doors became an iconic part of the Countach's outlandishness. :) Unfortunately, one of the reasons the car isn't as aerodynamic as you would think, is because the front end is WIDE. It presents a large frontal area to the oncoming airstream, which pretty much tosses the drag coefficient into the bin. You can also factor in that the original body style didn't exactly help much with keeping a big V12 cool, which is why the scoops and slats and other accoutrements put in an appearance on later models. Item two. The Vector W8 can be summed up in one word - *overreach* . The W8 was an attempt to build a Bugatti Veyron two decades before the technology existed to realise the vision, and without the colossal financial input Volkswagen could throw at the Veyron project. It's actually a testament to the skill of Weigert and his team, that they achieved what they did with the shoestring budget at their disposal. Yes, there are aspects of the car that are ludicrous, such as having a three-speed auto transmission in a car that *should* have had a five-speed manual, possibly with a sequential shifter to add to the "spaceship" aspect of the car, and the rear styling tells you where the money run out, though producing a *stylish* rear end that still provided efficient cooling for a twin turbo V8 would have eaten up a lot of money to develop. But you can't fault Weigert's dedication to his dream. By the way, if you want a cool car that's genuinely terrible, try the Brutus Bomber. A 1930s style single seat car powered by a Heinkel bomber engine, that spits flames out of the exhaust into your face when you start it up.

I'd say the Lancia is a Ferrari-engined Thema 8.32

[@fingers1971]

Final 3 cars: 1st: Lancia Thema with Ferrari engine (my father had one and I ruined its engine when the timing belt broke) 2nd: Chrysler 300 rd: Vector W8.

suprisingly, i love that sound, it just sounds so horrendous but funny as hell

Lancia Thema 3.2 (Ferrari V-8 inside)

Every car with pop up headlights on a KZbin video is the “last car with pop up headlights”.

Not surprised to see the Countach. Lamborghinis have always been cool, but they also had a lot of problems until the company was acquired by Audi (yes, even the Diablo). Doesn’t change the fact that I love the old Lambos, like the Jarama, Urraco, and Espada.

You can get a Delorean new, they started building them again in 2017

The Maserati TC looks like the LeBaron because it was supposed to come out before the LeBaron. The goal was for the TC to be a halo car. People would see a TC, before the restyled LeBaron was released. They would then flock to dealerships and if they could afford a TC they'd buy one, if not they'd buy a Lebaron. Unfortunately, production problems delayed the car until AFTER the restyled LeBaron was released. Instead of seeing TCs and buying Lebarons, consumers saw the two cars next to each other and asked "Why should I buy a TC? It looks like a Lebaron, has the same drivetrain, two less seats, and it's more expensive than the LeBaron "

I don't understand why the mustang II gets so much hate, it practically saved the mustang. Also the chassis may have been from the pinto but it was so heavily modified that it basically was its own chassis, and the car was actually praised at the time for its handling so much so that a lot of mustang II's have been used for donor cars for their double wishbone front suspension on all kinds of ford hot rods and mustang restomods.

[@Spamsmoothie1701]

It's quite simple. While it was the right car at the right time, it doesn't precisely follow the Mustang formula. It's also a product of its time more than almost any other Mustang. It's association with the Pinto doesn't do its reputation any favors either. I think most importantly, it simply hasn't aged well. When looking at one you see everything wrong with the 1970's and nothing right about it. It's not the most hideous car ever made by a long shot, but it's pretty much the worst Mustang ever built.

[@mattskucas4097]

You don't understand why people hate the slowest, worst build quality, and overall missing the plot "mustang?"

Lotus Esprit V8 with his "only" 350hp, is quicker than lot of more powerful super cars

[@dr.lyleevans6915]

It doesn’t take much at all to double or triple that though. Basically a bigger carb, headers/decat/exhaust, and cam will get you there.

Just gotta throw a better transmission in it to handle more power....like idk, maybe from a FORD GT or Pantera.

[@whiteglovewatches9908]

The Vector W8 at the end is hella cool and not bad to drive especially compared to other exotic cars of the time. While Ferraris felt like you were riding a buckboard and if you could manage to fit in a Lamborghini it would actively try to kill you the W8 had a comfortable ride, handled well, was crazy fast and the cockpit (while very odd) was more than livable. Yes they’re super super quirky but that’s what makes them so cool. Definitely not a terrible car.

Lancia Thema Ferrari was the most powerful and fastest FDW car in it's time.
