When Car Manufacturers Go Crazy

Sometimes car manufacturers make something so far out of the ordinary you didn't even consider it to be possible. Here is a list of these cars.

The World’s Weirdest Cars? The Story of Three Wheelers
In keeping with bonkers vehicles like the Espace F1, Alfa Romeo made the 164 Procar.... a MENTAL V10 powered beast with the engine mounted in the middle, well worth looking up
What a crazy car! I'd never heard of it before!
@classiccarconversations It sounds amazing
Tip, please show us a little more than the brand logo a bunch of the time.
I would have liked to, but it’s hard to find relevant photos for more obscure brands with the right usage permissions.
Really enjoyed your video. I'm a huge VW van. Currently own a T6.1 high top which I patiently waited for 2 years 3 months after ordering.
Thank you!
China intends to be the only mfg country.
Your choice of Beetle convertible is a home made roof chop (many of which are not safe as the strengthening to the chassis was omitted and not a real VW convertible. The genuine one was professionally converted at the Karmann factory.
China builds quickly to flood foreign markets with very low prices. If the sales makes them happy they will continue for as long as possible . If there are massive product failures they will shut down the company and enjoy what they made and stiff multitudes of foreign customers.
I think these manufacturers are here to stay for the medium term at least. They are giants in China, so presumably won't mind losing money in Europe with the long term view of increasing their market share massively. If it doesn't go well in the West, they could obviously pull out but these manufacturers wouldn't be the first to do that.
F#@k these overhyped and flawed EV's! The vast majority of car buyers are intelligent enough not to buy them in the first place anyway...
The Ford T-model brought cheap mobility to the masses, now its the Chinese... Taxation without Representation leads to Revolution, according to the Yanks
Too stupid for words
nobody cares about the so called "green future", it always has and always will be only about profit.
I can agree to some extent, but electric vehicles are less profitable than combustion variants at the moment and the problem of climate change can't be denied, so something has to be done.
Buying an EV makes no sense.
Yes for some people. But the some others maybe make more sense 😂.
I fully agree, it really depends on what you need a car for.
imagine being triggered by electricity
Hagerty made a video about him.
After me!
Social Media....Lol
It's a travesty that Genesis produce such great cars but deliver such an atrocious after sales service. Just read Genesis customers feedback........it''s generally excruciatingly bad.
aint no way my favourite youtuber just uploaded
BMW® #1!
Very good overview of the models,and history of this much missed business.
Thanks! As someone from Tamworth, it would be great if they were still going.
Hagerty remade your content 😂
😂 They did have a Bugatti at their disposal, though!
If you have access to a Volkswagen bus. Run your inspection down the shaft that comes from the steering wheel to a right angle converter system that allows the shaft to turn left and right and thus turn the front wheels left and right. there's a possibility that that right angle conversion fitting has rusted and maybe rusted out. my son had one and it broke so it wouldn't turn one way or the other. we had to drive it along and push it along and kick the front tire 2 change the direction it was going but it was rusted out and broken. we got a new one glad he didn't try driving it at 50 miles an hour when it broke... It broke in a parking lot maneuvering.
there are other factors less noice pollution is better for animals and human health an can reduce costs of healthcare and construction of sound barriers . the emissions being not produced in city's means billions saved in rainwater clearing hose and window cleaning / painting ,healthier trees that don't have to be replaced that often healthier plant life (leafs not covered in dust are more efficient) produce grown in a garden is less polluted healthier insects (less fine dust) healthier pets less asthma healthier babies and old people most power plants eve coal are more efficient and better filter t then individual cars. if you charge an electric car with a diesel generator it wold still save fuel compared to a diesel car

Genesis cars are so fancy, interesting that it began from such humble beginnings😮
Oomph
Love the channel and the content concepts but c’mon mate, get a bit of oomph in that voice, a bit of charisma … a great speaking voice flows like a song ya know? Anyway keep it up, I look forward to more
Needs more Hutzpah 😂
one piece of equipment that is a glaring omission from ev's is a motor generator set which could reduce greatly the running cost , greatly increase the range and time spent at charging stations , why isn't it fitted ? economic returns , the Gov has to make money off EV's as the shortfall in petrol revenue will be significant, already a special levy is being implemented on EV vehicle registrations in Australia , twice before the electric car has been introduced and rejected as their effect on the economy is devestatng , make no mistake , you will pay for the priviledge of owning an EV eventually
They were never really alive 😂
Good information straight to the point 👍
Love my 12C spider.
yes . because all the funding ran out ,, now EV owners will have to foot the bill for new charging stations by increasing KW per charges
Fantastic, informative video!
Thank you!
I don’t think they are ! There is an area that is untapped here. A remapping is required to see where the improvements can be made .
I completely agree. Once more affordable options from big manufacturers come to the market, I can see massive growth happening.
Splendid !
Supercar elegance
Great video. I can’t wait for my polestar 3.
I think you've done a great job starting out this channel! Your passion and enthusiasm for cars and car history really shines through in the research you do behind the videos and your writing. Your videos have nice visuals and solid editing that keeps the viewers eye engaged. For a piece of feedback, I think one area for you to prioritize improvement would be the verbal delivery, diction, speaking style, etc. For a viewer like myself who enjoys a good car video, I often find the verbal delivery is what keeps me most attuned to a video, sometimes I'll even have a video playing on the background because I enjoy hearing the presenter so much. I think if you can up your game in that respect, you'll definitely be the complete package. Good luck and keep at it! Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Thanks, appreciate it
Bro your content is gold. Just one tip that would make it even better is that you have to put some more energy into your voice. That would make it more interesting and more fun to watch. No hate just a tip.
The video could have expanded on his “ruthless management style”.
Living the engineering profession is much more ruthless than being a manager. He is one of the few who has always been an engineer deep inside and only then a manager. The same cannot be said for today's car company bosses. His achievements speak for themselves.
He said once in an interview, my employees can make any fault! But only once!
I always buyed used cars ,now i have 6 ,my favorite are "luxury" cars 2006-2016 ,i want to keep them as much as possible
Great video!
Thanks!
Sticking to 3wheelers is fine if you get the reciepe right like Morgan

Good video mate 👌
Really nice Video
Thanks! Appreciate it
Hey man, you might not care about this comment, but from someone who is currently starting a business I know feedback is so helpful. Your title is super engaging and got me to click on the video, however you need to make your content more interesting. I lost interest within the first 20 seconds of the video which is where you should reallly be trying to captivate your audience. You don’t need to take my advice, but I would suggest looking at how bigger RUclipsrs do there videos and kind of making parts of your videos similar to theirs. You should also try to really like talk with exaggeration to keep me entertained. I hope this helps at all and if it does it would be great if you could let me knowz
great video. keep it going!
Thanks! Appreciate it
hey should have built the A310 and not the outdated looking A110
Thanks for your well researched and scripted Alpine review. I have owned an A110 Pure for a couple of years now and it is a very sweet handling car that compliments even a very average driver such as myself. Here in Australia only 110 in to total were imported until sales were stopped in 2021, as such it is very rare to ever see another A110 on the road . Since its release here I have only ever seen 2 other A110’s - nice to have a very unique vehicle. Keep up your good work - cheers from Brisbane
Thanks! Appreciate it
