Weird Cars: A compilation of 77 avant garde silly, slow, experimental, failed, rare, ridiculous, revolutionary, obsolete, obscure, idiotic, and X-rated machines

You know cars.

You know why Ferrari lost to Ford at Le Mans. You know that the Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. You know thereâ€™s nothing in common between rollinâ€™ coal and Walter RÃ¶hrl. You can explain camber and draw a camshaft. You blip the throttle on downshifts and apex highway ramps.

But sometimes, strange things happen. Designs emerge. Tastes change. Economies collapse. Companies merge. Racing selects the winners. Weird cars are interesting because theyâ€™re different. Because sometimes the world wasnâ€™t readyâ€”and sometimes because people donâ€™t want to buy a Ferrari with no doors.

From a royal car named after a nuclear bomb test to an SUV known by its exhaust pipes, Weird Cars is a collection of misfits thrown together simply because they donâ€™t belong anywhere else.
