Throughout automobile history, many designers have dared to be different by designing vehicles that are boldly ingenious yet characteristically odd. Everyone knows about many of the world’s most famous cars like the Ferrari F40, the Lamborghini Aventador, and the Chevrolet Corvette, but few know about the weirdest cars ever created.
