This world is full of wonders, and so is the car industry. You will find some of the most absurd yet unique creations in this list of strangest cars from around the world. Even though, they might not be available as used cars Dubai, you may find them fascinating.
Messerschmitt KR200
This three-wheeled ride is one of the most peculiar inventions in the automobile industry. It was designed by an aeronautical engineer named Fritz Fend with almost 40,000 units produced between 1955 – 1964. This tiny car had a 191cc engine with a weight of just around 500 lbs. No matter how impractical it seems, it is an adorable car for sure.
Stout Scarab
Designed by an aircraft engineer, the Scarab is one of the first minivans to be invented. Interestingly, this 1930 production packed a Ford Flathead V8 engine under the hood and had a 135-inch wheelbase. Unfortunately, this car was well ahead of its time as it had a price tag of $5000 which was considered a ton of money in that era. Thus, only 10 cars were ever made.
Oeuf electrique
An egg-shaped electric car, the Oeuf Electrique also known as ‘electric egg’ was among the first electric cars ever made. Developed in 1942, this three-wheeler was made from hand-formed aluminium and curved plexiglass. This pocket-sized car ran on batteries and ranged from 44 to 63 miles per hour. Oddly, it seems like a predecessor of Tesla’s three-wheeled car.
GM La Sabre
Considered one of the most iconic show car of its time, La Sabre was a sleek looking car produced by General Motors. It was designed by Harley Earl and had tail fins which eventually became a standard feature on other vehicles in the 50’s. Earl used it as his personal car for quite sometime but it failed to reach the general public.
1954 Norman Timbs Special
As the name suggests, the 1954 Norman Timbs Special was the creation of an individual known as Timbs, an automotive and mechanical engineer. With an aluminium body, the car is designed like a wave and is powered by a Buick Straight 8 engine which allows the car to reach a top limit of 120 miles per hour. Picture driving through Emaar Boulevard in one of these babies! It sure ticks the right marks to be an admirable vintage car.
Amphicar Model 770
A strange yet innovative creation, this amphicar was certainly a piece of work. This interesting innovation was made to tackle both water and land.
These cars might seem like the weirdest of them all but the amount of creativity put into them is applaudable. Imagine if these absurd yet impressive rides were listed in used cars Dubai. We’re sure people would be tempted to take them for a test drive at the least.
