Pea Car
Designed by Asylum (based in London, England), the Pea Car looks like a bean. The car is built on the chassis of an off-road go-kart, has VW Beetle headlights and is powered by a Honda engine.
It can reach a maximum speed of approximately 96 km/h. The Pea Car is said to be on display at Unilever Ice Cream and Frozen Foods Co. in Walton on Thames in England.
Lotus Evija
Lotus Evija with James Bond design and price of more than 2 million USD is classified as “unusual” car models.
Only 130 models of this all-electric car will be produced. The Lotus Evija boasts 2,000 horsepower and will accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.
At just over 1,678 kg, the Lotus Evija is expected to be the lightest electric supercar ever put into production.
Fiat Multipla 1999
This may be Fiat’s strangest car of the 1990s. While its engine and fuel economy aren’t bad for a car of its class, the car’s exterior is a bit puzzling.
The overall structure of the Fiat Multipla is not taken care of, it looks exactly like a box with wheels attached. It is sometimes even described as a pie. The randomly placed headlights also give it an insect-like appearance.
Never produced in the US, the vehicle has two rows of three seats, each with a boxy shape that provides plenty of cargo space.
Oscar-Mayer Wienermobile
Oscar-Mayer’s first Wienermobile was created by Carl Mayer in 1936 for advertising purposes. The car quickly created a wave of lasting admiration and is still used by the company to this day.
Today’s Wienermobile has been redesigned many times, turning it into a sausage car with a length of up to 8.2 m and a height of 3.4 m. Currently there are only 6 Wienermobiles left.
Leyat Helica 1921
In 1921, the French car company Leyat introduced its first model – the Helica, dubbed “The plane without wings.”
Helica has an 18 horsepower Harley-Davidson v-twin (two-cylinder) engine and a streamlined plywood body, weighing 249 kg. The wheels are custom aluminum discs with integrated brakes that reduce drag.
In 1927, a Helica recorded a top speed of 170 km/h. Due to lack of funding, only 30 were built and 23 were sold.
