15 STRANGEST Vehicles Ever Made

[@MrDoppelganger777]

Fiat Multipla: "Aren't the French supposed to be fashionable?" Fiats are ITALIAN, not French! Subaru 360 - suicide doors make any car look cool!

[@maurovenier8754]

@Salaxi And he knows really little about cars and design.

[@beflabbergasted325]

I do not think you like cars that much. It is the weirdness of a few of the examples you provided that makes them brilliant and cool. That is why they have been restored and still exist. You need to look at cars as a form of art and then you will start grasping the idea of the designers. Sometimes, the more "exotic" (uglier, strange, whatever) they look the more interesting they become. That electric car, for example, and the scarab are simply brilliant. The Merc is really cool too. :) But... I do agree that some of the ones you mentioned are really atrocious. The Robin? Come on. That one is so unstable it becomes brilliant.

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

I know cars are to plane and bland today there like a skinny woman no curves on them and not much to look at but jokes aside the only half decent looking modern car I could afford in my lifetime is a challenger I love that Dodge brought back the muscle car look in a sleek modern package.

[@x66Hawk66x]

Have you driven a Robin?

[@beflabbergasted325]

@@x66Hawk66x Yes. I actually did. I studied auto engineering in Shoreham By Sea and there was one there. It is actually funny. Even the handling is hilarious. The fact that it got a license to be built is beyond comprehension but it is certainly a fun car to crash, sorry, I meant drive. :)

@Be Flabbergasted Thank You! I know that a lot of folks may not agree with us but I personally love the odd and strangeness of some vehicles (as well any completely original approach to solving a problem, and not copying another’s idea). Maybe it’s because I am an old man and maybe I’ve lost my mind but I personally enjoy a glimpse into the brilliant minds that go against the grain of normalcy and dare to give a swift kick to the groin of the boringly beautiful copycats. It thrills me that others, like yourself, feel the same as I. Thank you for your great comment and siding with a forgotten time when original thought was relevant! I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your families!

[@beflabbergasted325]

@@wesleytownsend8214 I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your family but although I thank you for the wish, I do not have one. I am homeless (long story not my fault, not important and it has nothing to do with recent events). And I am also an old man, maybe that is why we appreciate things "differently". But you did put it perfectly. When we look at the car, we do not see it only as a car we see beyond the car and we look into the minds of those who created the car. And it is fascinating. It is like Dimash (if you never geard of him you should look him up) when he sings. He always takes us on an emotional journey (even when we do not understand the language). Some of these cars may look weird to some people but they are really cool pieces of engineering and that is what makes them so interesting. They are functional pieces of art. But you need to look at everything and sometimes you also need to look closer at the several details of the thing so you can really appreciate the whole car.

🌹John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S. By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth. 🌹But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly. 🌹As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice. 🌹He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria. 🌹But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole. 🌹Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to him, and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was good to me every day.” A nice message for all of us!🙏😎👍

[@SargeWolf010]

If the cars on this list had/have a 1:64 Scale option you can bet your sweet buttery biscuits I'd be adding them to my collection eventually* 😅🤣

[@F_L_U_X]

3:10 why would you bring a sleeping bag if you're not going to be sleeping? Lol

[@roscoepatternworks3471]

I liked the Suzuki x90. But I got 3 geo trackers. The trackers are great on dirt roads, they slide easy and are fun to drive. Unfortunately haven't found an x90 owner willing to part with it.

[@DonKelleyMusic]

the 360 is a great car... nothing wrong with the subaru... you are oddly judgmental about these cars... like you said, you personally think a lot of cars from the 60s were ugly. Most of us absolutely disagree.

[@craigwall9536]

To diss that Soob is to reveal yourself as a complete ignoramus. That car was the start of a long line of quality, practical, economical, and safe automobiles and won tremendous respect for Japanese engineering that continues to this day. This guy is a complete poseur. And I wouldn't piss on his head if his hair was on fire.

[@visionlightlab6094]

Stout Scarab set the bar low? I must digress, it's one of the coolest artsy designs ever, that's why the film clip shows it at an apparently prestigious car show

[@richdorak1547]

Fiat Multipla is ugly but very very practical . You are too harsh.

[@josem2690]

LMFAO 😂😂😂😂 YOU HAD ME LAUGHING THE WHOLE GOD DAMN TIME...

[@dave900575]

The Subaru 360 has cues from the VW Beetle. It's kind of cute with its big smiley face.

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

What no dude that 360 is classic Japan dude!

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

Omg the scarab is literally a necron 😂

[@martialgbadoe3033]

The narrator is hilarious

[@biglongcadillac]

Artificial Intelligence narration

[@insanegiant1506]

I have never heard Simple History rip into anything as bad as he did that poor FIAT

[@ronliebermann]

This video is propaganda. The narrator says that Japan’s inexpensive and reliable little cars were “hideous”. Really? According to whom? The video is intended to mock inexpensive cars. True self-respecting men would never embarrass themselves in a car that costs only two thousand dollars! Real men buy cars that cost fifty thousand dollars. That stupid three wheel British car, and the equally stupid “smart” car were both designed to denigrate economical design. The British Mini, however, turned out to be so good that both the Mini and the Bug had to be taken off the market, until much more expensive replacements could be offered. And just for the record: the original Volkswagen Bug was manufactured in Mexico until ten years ago. Mexico still has the factory and the tooling, so a five thousand dollar Bug wouldn’t be impossible. No A/C, or radio, or airbags. Don’t worry about the D.O.T. They’ve been hiding vacuum brakes for thirty years. Those criminals will be lucky if they don’t get a new job stamping license plates.

[@johnwood551]

I Love the Helica was powered by a Harley Davidson engine.

[@kiwitrainguy]

I think that is because it is a reproduction. I've just seen a video that says that there are only two left, one original in a museum and the one we see driving around. I've saved this video in my "Road vehicles" playlist because of that car.

[@oxcart4172]

The first Nissan Juke should be there!

Were the designers stoned when they thought these cars out

[@trendyinsight9080]

That Consulier could be fast car but man does it look horrible! Not for everyone I guess.

[@jc-qd6be]

id take the subaru 360..

[@x66Hawk66x]

it's obvious that you do little research for your videos. Your claim in relation to the Reliant Robin shows your clear lack of research and vetting on your sources. The Reliant does not roll that easy at all. You would have to drive really stupidly to roll one, even then the car will often settle back down the second all the power is sent to the raised wheel. Top gear needed to rig the car to roll as it did on the show. the steering wheel popping off? I have rebuilt 2 of these, I wonder if i just learnt something new. the chassis was steel with a fiberglass body on top.

[@TheAutisticEducator]

Fiat French? Do you say these things on purpose?

[@charleseagan2344]

Certainly some strange looking cars.

[@evolancer211]

Pretty sure you guys released this yesterday, but with a thumbnail of a limo in a "u" shape

[@tangfors]

Most of these cars are super cool, why should you be boring and drive an ordinary car or a car that screams that you have too small a package between your legs (which seems to be what all Americans go for). Take Amin as an example, super quirky and fantastic design.

[@InOppositiontotheNewWorldOrder]

I am excited by the Squba car. It just needs to be enclosed and have a much longer battery life expectancy. How many people want to wait 4 hours to recharge your car for another 18 mile trip. Which I guess is how long it would take your clothes to dry after getting back on dry land. But it is definitely cool looking and the possibilities are endless. It would make an awesome get-away car. How long will it be before cop cars can chase you under water? "Just thinking out-loud."

[@tacodegroot6442]

Yep... enclosed. You do know how much ballast you need to get that air bubble you sitting in under water??

[@faizanime92]

i like multipla

[@miseajeux1287]

3:45 fiat is Italian lol

[@billybarnes9208]

The conslurie miss spelled but the car remind of a want to be half truck sports car that missed its point

[@iteerrex8166]

What’s puzzling is that France with all their fashion sense, have zero idea about the aesthetics of a car. In alll their history have made nothing worthwhile. How is that even possible?

[@Jkauppa]

um, what about land-craft, as in water craft, propeller hover land car

[@Jkauppa]

multiple axis harrier-style air flow paths

[@Jkauppa]

do you think caterpillars are funny looking, perfect with the small head

[@wolfgangschleis7949]

I don't like your comments,most of these cars are not ugly,your comments were.

[@austinpilbeam3869]

Lol the idiotic commentary guy thinks Fiat is French Design

[@cliffjackson6816]

Yikes! So many mistakes coming from the narrator, or maybe the writer(s)! Car shape design is art, and art is subjective, so nobody's opinion is better than another's. Sales have never indicated quality, or the lack thereof. Weird how the last Mercedes looks so much like the Scarab, but the announcer likes the former and ridicules the latter. 🤨

[@taomicioli]

love all these electric cars claiming 0 emissions....... so wtf charges it , unicorn farts?

[@maurovenier8754]

French are known for their design? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@martinbarese5837]

[@Crumphorn]

Yeah, whoever wrote this dialogue has a strange idea of what is ugly - and an odd idea that weak sarcasm is majorly funny.

[@bobfeller604]

I think the first design with a propeller was very interesting.

[@chrivo1975]

3:45 FIAT stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili di Torino - not French Incredibly Awful Toy-car....

[@DonKelleyMusic]

wow... you keep failing. the stout scarab is widely recognized as a brilliant design long before it's time. It's gorgeous with extremely detailed finishing features. It was NEVER manufactured for sale... you seem to be missing the point here.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

You don't mention that the Consulier was so SUCCESSFUL on racetracks that it was first given a 300 pound weight penalty and then BANNED.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

The Reliant 3 wheeler in various forms was in production from 1935 to 2001. So it must have had something going for it. The chassis WAS NOT made of fibreglass. It had a steel chassis with a fibreglass body.

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

You laugh about the fiat but it probably got 50 mpg. And it's Italian bud.

[@grinnerwolff1]

Wait what? Fiat is not French. It’s Italian.

[@russc4873]

Fiat are Italian, not French!

[@DonKelleyMusic]

I love the nissan pivo or however it's spelled... super cute full on japanese robotic style! I'd rather drive that than most regular cars.

In Japan, if you have the money you can drive a Kuratas.

[@enibeni2071]

Trueeee!

[@asteverino8569]

I seem to like all of these. Beauty and art is in the eye of the beholder. I like the quirkiness .

[@lynngaydos9873]

Sounds like someone woke a man going through a bitter divorce two hours before his alarm was set to go off by shining a bright light into his eyes, then finished by making him eat a lemon and forced him to narrate this video. Thought I was in a bad mood... he wins, though.

[@verafleck]

or simply a guy with no respect and little knowledge

[@biglongcadillac]

All these videos use AI narration

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Not in this list, but I really don't understand the recent "flying cars". Aren't they drones or helicopters? Why do they call it "cars"?

[@emitflesti4790]

There are some vehicles that qualify as cars and have additional components so they can fly. The autonomous vehicles that you refer to, probably will be road worthy to some degree

[@Herowebcomics]

The Helica looks weird, but there were a lot of great ideas in it's design! And so did the Pivo!

[@danielobrien1571]

Those are some bad cars, but consider what they had in the past. For example, on old TV game shows the cars they had for prizes to the winners were all just squared-off and very boxy looking cars that had to be both eyesores to drive but also could've been hazardous in accidents. Consider those compared to some of these which look just as bad.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I like the scarab🐝🤗❤️

[@gliderarts3573]

106 mph!

[@hifijohn]

Wow that french ami, never seen a sader front end in any other car.

[@danischeel4846]

I would love to have an X90!

[@taomicioli]

the last cars windows will never make production.... violates EVERY states/country tinted window laws

[@johngraves6878]

The Scarab is cool! I love its unique design which is somewhere between a passenger bus and a car. There's nothing else like it!

[@poke12gauge32]

I love how people keep saying electric dosent leave a carbon foot print have you seen a lithium mine the machines used to do it and how they get power to the chargers? Carbon is still used

[@robtyman4281]

How is the Renault Twizy not on this list. It was insane - like a cross bett a golf cart and a Segway!

[@DonKelleyMusic]

since when is fiat french? google before you make videos with significant errors

[@verafleck]

interesting cars, but the strange humor of the speaker is not worth hurting my brain any further

[@deathsummerbait2]

Submarine sports car might be in 2030, and also the Pivo

[@donpico3363]

A car vs pedestrian accident might look interesting

[@ITWorksSoftware]

8:22 I really like it, it looks cool!

[@CAMacKenzie]

Fiats ugly? Well, maybe, but there have been exceptions. Seemed to me thet the 850 Spider was pretty good looking, and the 124 Sport Spider and Sport Coupe, of the same era, were really quite attractive. Fiat, by the way, is Italian, not French. As for the Citroen Ami, Citroens have always been at least weird looking, often downright ugly, and in the case of the 2CV, weird, ugly, and primitive looking. Kind of like a VW Beetle, only worse in every way. The hideousness of the 2CV didn't, however, prevent it from being wildly popular. "Maybe if I stand next to this thing it'll make me look prettier by comparison." Of course, they WERE extremely practical. So, anyway, the Ami 6 was in good company. The Crolsey was built by a manufacturer of radios, anti-aircraft shell fuses, machinegun mounts, and stoves. Crosley had been building small cars since 1939, and those were strange-looking, too, but at least they had a fairly reliable aircooled flat twin engine. The sheet metal 4 banger was designed to run an auxilliary generator on World War II bombers, for which it seems to have worked fairly well, but then, the usage was different.

Well, even if you have a "plane" without wings, it still can be classified as an "auto mobile" technically. We just associate automobile = car, or some other vehicle whose wheels are driven for propulsion/movement. Subaru 360 looks like an obvious rip-off of the classic VW Bug.

[@LuisSoto-ey4le]
