Top 5 of the World’s Strangest Vehicles


5. Jet-powered Flatmobile: the flattest car in the world

This crazy, crazy “Flatmobile” is going to enter the Guinness book as the flattest vehicle ever. How flat is it? Nineteen inches. This Batmobile-like contraption is extremely dangerous—creator Perry Watkins shoved a gas turbine jet engine on the butt. It’s also supposedly street legal, but we wouldn’t want to be in it during a rollover.

4. Colim: the detachable caravan

Colim, a new vehicle designed by Christian Susana, is a great blend of a car and a caravan camper. The front part of this unique looking automobile can be detached, if you are not going camping with your family, and used as a two-seater car. Colim might not be the best looking vehicle, but it is quite useful given the flexibility it offers.
3. World’s Longest Limousine

This fancy limousine is actually the longest limousine in the world. Total length is 100 feet (more than 30 meters). It has 26 tires, room for a lot of passengers, a heated Jacuzzi, sun deck, swimming pool, a few beds and… a helipad!
2. Dream Car 123: the pyramid electric car

What weighs 8,000 pounds, turns on a dime, and looks like an Egyptian pyramid? The Dream Car 123! It may look like a pyramid, but it’s outfitted like a tank and lights up in neon colors at night. The best part is that it runs on electricity. 3.5 hour charge will take the Dream Car 240 miles at up to 40 mph. Inventor Greg Zanis has also designed a tower garage that harvests solar and wind power to recharge the vehicle.
1. Peel 50: World’s Smallest Car

The three-wheeled micro car boasts the record for the smallest ever automobile to go into production. It has certainly got itself into a tight squeeze, but the world’s tinniest car has every right to be there. Tucked in between two vans in London’s Piccadilly Circus, the Peel 50 is legally allowed to take to British roads.
