When you thought you have seen it all, when you thought technology and innovations have come and gone, then you need to research and rethink those with crazy ideas.

Automobiles are often expressions of one’s taste and style, but most of us are limited to the cost and availability of options. But for serious car enthusiasts, engineers and designers, the sky is the limit and is only stunted by one’s imagination.

Nothing amounts to going through the streets of Lagos, Abuja and other cities and you see some ugly, funny looking cars. We bring to you 10 strange looking cars with strange concepts.

10. Dream Car 123 – The Pyramid Electric Car

This auto inventor had a vision that most others would never have dreamed up, which is probably why it is called the Dream Car 123. In fact, it looks like a spaceship from a 1960s science fiction movie.

Inventor Greg Zanis created this futuristic electric auto to act like a tank and look like something someone would wear or win on a game show like “Let’s Make a Deal”. According to a report in Oddee.com, the auto weighs 8,000 pounds, stops and turns instantly and only takes 3.5 hours to charge. He also designed a tower garage that can capture the sun and wind and act as the vehicle’s charger.

9. Eclectic

This funky-looking auto was being touted as the first “energy-autonomous” car, because it includes a solar and a wind turbine for its power. It can also be recharged via an electrical outlet, to boost its lasting power. The energy from the elements can only power the car up to 14 miles per energy-charged day. We have to it, this car looks more like a golf cart than an automobile we would see cruising down the street.

8. 1938 Buick Y Job

This 1938 Buick Y-Job is a good example of a concept car and was built at General Motors’ plant in Detroit, Michigan. It was never intended to be mass produced, but instead used as an model to test new ideas. Harley Earl was GM’s first design director and this beauty was made under his direction. The integrated fenders and hidden headlamps were new concepts that were integrated into Cadillacs and Buicks in later years. The front and side grilles were intended to add yet another luxury feature, yet they may have overdone it.

7. 1967 Dodge Deora

This Deora looks like a futuristic El Camino, and was designed as a pickup. The front end of the vehicle looks very much like the rear end of many cars because there is no visible hood. Detroit’s Alexander Brothers were responsible for this design that was promoted as the pickup of the future, according to an article in Popular Mechanics. Luckily, it was a concept car that never made it to the future. Take the wheels/tires off and it resembles something that will, someday, be flying in the air.

6. 1942 Oeuf Electrique

The literal translation of this French-named car is “Electric Egg”. It was designed by Paul Arzens, from Paris, whose career background was in deg trains and painting. He ultimately decided to try his hand at deg cars and came up with this bubble-like three-wheeler that ran on batteries. The bubble top was constructed from aluminum and Plexiglass and curved by hand, rather than machine. It never made it into mass production, but judging by the popularity of the Smart car, it would probably do well in today’s environmentally-conscious world.

5. 1970 Ferrari (Pininfarina) 512 S Modulo

Ferrari is known for their sleek concept cars and this unusual-looking one was created for the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. This Ferrari Modulo was designed by Paolo Martin of the famous Italian Pininfarina group, that Ferrari often pairs with. Its top speed is 220mph and it is so low to the ground and aerodynamic that it gets going from 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. Evidently, a recent buyer (2014), James Glickenhaus, has been planning to bring it back to its original state. We don’t know if it is for display or to take out on the road.

4. 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Competition Coupe Aerolithe

This 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Competition Coupe Aerolithe was introduced at the Paris Auto Show. Its back half resembles a Porsche 911 while the front half looks like an old fashion roadster. The back wheel covers are classic and the details are complete luxury. According to an article in the businessinsider.com, the original vehicle was taken apart and used as parts, following the Auto Show. However, it was recreated in 2007 by reviewing paintings of it and has not been put on display.

3. 1948 Tasco
Originally, this auto was made by The American Sports Car Company and later coined TASCO, which is its acronym. German designer Gordon Buehrig was inspired by WWII fighter planes and was meant to be a sports car. It is the first car ever to sport a T-top roof and the interior dash resembles that of an aircraft. Buehrig patented his one-of-a-kind T-top roof and later sued Corvette for using it on its 1968 model. Unfortunately, he was paid very little for his patent and it became almost a trademark for Corvettes.

2. 1910 Brooke Swan Car

The notable thing about this car is that they cost three times as much as a Rolls-Royce back in 1910. The high price came with its own set of luxury amenities and accessories, such as gold leaf accents (see the exterior), Indian silk upholstery, shoots out boiling water from its beak and leaves faux excrement from the rear. The car is generally on display at a museum in The Hague.

1. 1956 Buick Centurion

This 1956 Buick Centurion was ahead of its time, as its features were so forward-thinking. The front-seats automatically slid back for ease in entering and leaving as soon as the door was opened. Plus, it included a screen on the dashboard that helped the driver see what was behind the vehicle from the rear-view camera. The two-door, four-seat concept car sported the dual paint colors, which was very popular in the 1950s. The bubble roof was cockpit style, giving this auto a futuristic appearance.

Are u sure? I think the aerodynamic word used there is the contributing factor of the car's ability to go from 0-60mph in 3.1s.

Funny looking for sure. I love no.8

Yeah! Some of the finest places you will ever visit if you are really intrigued by the medieval/'post-medieval civilization of Europe.
I will probably open a thread later showing my sojourn with pictures when I have the time.
I heard Budapest is great too and cheap, it definitely in my plans.
