You gotta love the Columbus design having exactly ZERO similarities to any other BMWs^^ No double kidney grill, no side lines or edges, nothing. Just a sailboat for the road. Amazing
It wasn't made by BMW, but had its V-12 powering it. The Italdesign Columbus could be one of those vehicles that the "Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015" allows 325 cars a year or less to be made by small manufacturers. Here's a page about the Columbus: www.motor1.com/photo/3664865/1992-italdesign-columbus/
@@RomainSandt Ital Design is no joke, actually top, I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's a duplex flat, but more drivable than the average motor home, the v12 is awesome but maybe overkill..
Okay, I understand that that Columbus car looks weird from the outside, but it looks as spacious and comfortable on the inside as the starship Enterprise. I want it! I want it now! 😭
As much as I've seen this vehicle get positive comments by far the most of all 300 videos on this channel, I cant believe it never made it to production. Such a shame.
#4 could be brought back as electric,. Families would love it. Much room, comfy, nice interior, kids and families would love it. Famly weekend van or for camping. 🤗
Number 13 (Optica): This was definitely NOT quieter than normal airplanes its size. A sample was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in ~1980 for evaluation. The airplane made the loudest, most annoying whining noise I've ever heard. Visibility may have been great, but you could hear it 10 miles.
I remember when the Ital Design Columbus was new. I remember seeing photo's of it in car magazines. I always thought it was very cool. The sea ranger was designed in Italy by Luigi Colani. Thanks.
Correct me if I´m wrong, but the last car had a 1959 Caddy bumper, 1959-1960 Lincoln headlights, 1961-1962 Chrysler dash, 1979-1989 Ford steering wheel, 1960 Desoto tail fins & lights and a 1958 Caddy bumper (rear). What did I miss?
#4, #3 and #1 are my favorite...the no1 "Bubble car" is an absolute work of art ! I could spend hours looking at it. And the BMW Columbus, wow, i would love to turn one of those into a Camper, at 20 feet long it's certainly has enough room for it ! The Sea Ranger looks straight of of 70's tv serie Space 1999 ! Thanks for putting this video together !
The Columbus would make an awesome camper. The Biga is a really innovative, practical idea. My niece just began working for a company that started out as a Kickstarter campaign. They make electric bikes for much the same use as the Biga. This car should be introduced in cities like Seattle that have a younger, more progressive population, and then rolled out to other locations. I think in today’s conservation climate it would be a success.
You have to wonder if the very first auto profiled in this video didn't inspire the animated movie "Cars", because it looks like it came right out of it!
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! a great glimpse of 10 of the oddest, with hundreds more to be added in future videos. As time permits, I'll offer some suggestions!
I had once a orange plastic miniature of that BMW Columbus bought in Southern India.... didn’t knew what it was supposed to be... till now! Thank you 🙏
These vehicles almost prove a point that holds true with any invention. I'm sure everyone watching sees at least one that they like and think should've been successful. Anything you make has more to do with how you market it as anything. Timing and luck are imperative also. Many are too far ahead of their time and knowing human nature and our resistance to change is important
The sea ranger. An amphibious unimog, yes please. Would be expensive as hell but as an avid off roader and overlander I can't think of a better overland chassis to do it on.
it was because this car was a compact car, And that very good brand also had other concepts and was just starting to ride cars. THE GURGEL IS VERY GOOOOOOOOOOD CAR.
Cars were made advanced from their time but never mind these experimental cars gave us idea to make cars better. Also the model at end is really beautiful and has a killing smile
I love those propeller powered vehicles.. I tried to the same thing by strapping a big ass fan to the front of my bike, but the extension cord wasn't long enough
In the Time after WW1 up to 1936,many People had the Idea, to put Profit from the Prop, by taken it into a Vehicle.But its a Horror to drive.A Bicycle with a Prop is easy,because you put all together and take it on the Back like a Backpack. But your Brakes are not good for this Speed and you cant easy Stop at a red Light.Its like the Turbinecar,it blows like a Jetengine ,Imagine what the the Driver in the Back would say ,if his Car is taking Fire.Planes had other methods to Brake(thrust reverser and stuff like that).Dont do it on Street,its only on a Racetrac legal.

Good on ya...! Nice work... totally subjective.
That would make it a 5 liter engine (61 X 5 = 305 cubic inches.)
@@jimburig7064 Good point..you're hired!
Great! When do I start?
These are all very cool I was glad to see the Olds Toronado / Vista Cruiser. I wouldn't mind owning one of those
That oldsmobile toronado limo, that 1955 Ford bubble top, and BMW Columbus, were my favorites.
BMW Columbus looked practical. They should make it
Um, it wasn't a BMW, just used a BMW engine. It is actually an Italian concept car.
The engine was in the middle of it. Rear wheel drive. IT could make a high end passenger uber/lift transport
I liked it to. Much nicer than modern people carriers.
it does look like it would be very popular with uber drivers

There’s several on here that I’d love any day with the Columbus and Sea Ranger being my top ones. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great job.
The BMW Columbus is a "crazy" car I would gladly buy.
DriverOp Oremor I like it too and I don’t know why...
Me too...

It’s an ItalDesign Columbus
I'll take the sea ranger. An amphibious unimog, hell yes.
I would love to drive the columbus, it is not a beauty, but definitely looks like it woul make an awesome van.
It's a reminder that there was some car designs in the late 90s that were very ahead their time.
I like the Gurgel look pretty straight forward on your small car needs
I love the lavender bubble top one off. Very creative. I would like to know more about its stats, comforts and amenities.
One of the Best lists of original cars that I have ever seen. Very well thought out list. And I have seen many. Excellent job. Thanks.
Gurgel foi a maior manifestação da criatividade brasileira para construção de carros em sua época,esse carro estava a frente de seu tempo.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Pão com ovo
I really like the BMW Columbus...but I'd fit it out for traveling alone. You could live in that thing.
Me too I wish that there were more RV/Coach/Van's with tapered jetfighter bubble where you drive.
Yes! I would’ve love a tiny house roaming RV type fitted Columbus, that’s a sexy looking machine.
I love it, been in it... And it's not a BMW, just has a BMW engine. It was made by ItalDesign.
Still want it anyway
@@RomainSandt Ital Design is no joke, actually top, I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's a duplex flat, but more drivable than the average motor home, the v12 is awesome but maybe overkill..
Finally a video with actual unique and interesting cars. Well done. Also, I'm pretty sure if BMW sold that van now it'd actually be pretty popular.
I hate to say this, but the Columbus is the nest in this bunch.
All the vehicles are wicked. My favorite is the helicopter
I'll bet that Bubble top is a hot as hell place to sit on a clear sunny day.
The BMW Columbus would make an awesome campervan!!
The BMW Columbus is deffinately a vehicle to have! I can sit by my self while I transport my family! Room for everyone!
The BMW Columbus was awesome! Jet Black Paint, nicer rims, limo-tint, updated electronics and a stripper pole. That would be a badass daily driver 😆👍🏻
but why the stripper pole, U tryna make a mobile strip club or what ?
That BMW was freakin brilliant. Please put them on the market.
Thet wasn't a BMW at all. It only had a BMW engine, but it was a Italdesign concept car.
@Al Morrison --> Different strokes for different folks!
Okay, I understand that that Columbus car looks weird from the outside, but it looks as spacious and comfortable on the inside as the starship Enterprise. I want it! I want it now! 😭

@@mindseyedesign Perhaps the production would've been too costly for the time... Who knows, maybe some day they'll turn up with something similar.
I would buy the Columbus. They should try to bring it back.
I liked the little blue one person vehicle. The ideal of bringing it in the house appeals to me.
#4 could be brought back as electric,. Families would love it. Much room, comfy, nice interior, kids and families would love it. Famly weekend van or for camping. 🤗
I really like the columbus.
Yea... if i would choice between that han and a people carrier... it would not even be a choice.
I did not expect to see one of the best kerbal crackpots in a video about cars but this surprise is welcome nonetheless.

The Beatnik Bubbletop looks like a car you would find in the Fallout Game Series.
Indeed, and/or as a Hot Wheels car.
Capsula is a design by Robertino Giugiaro, who also designed DMC-12 Delorean and Lancia Delta, a monolyth of the italian automotive
* Giorgetto Giugiaro
The Columbus { No4 } is the best lookin if produced it would be great as a limo
I wouldn't mind owning that ultralight plane. The perfect ultralight photography aircraft
It has been a while since I watched this video. I forgot how crazy some of these vehicles look!!!!!
Favorite retro car for me would be the Mercedes C111. That thing looked slick! And I would agree that the Columbus isn't half bad.
C112! GAS GAS GAS!
THIS IS A MUST WATCH VIDEO.! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND I HAVE BEEN AROUND AWHILE!! LOL
That columbus would still be a show stopper today
The tornado limousine most definitely my favorite.
I remember when the Ital Design Columbus was new. I remember seeing photo's of it in car magazines. I always thought it was very cool. The sea ranger was designed in Italy by Luigi Colani. Thanks.
Whoah... a Toronado limousine!!!
Was the Raincoat driven by the protaganist in Terry Gilliam’s 1980s dystopian movie, Brazil?
Wasnt the Sea Ranger in a 80s/90s futuristic film? Like Aliens or Total Recall (but it wasnt those two)?
Correct me if I´m wrong, but the last car had a 1959 Caddy bumper, 1959-1960 Lincoln headlights, 1961-1962 Chrysler dash, 1979-1989 Ford steering wheel, 1960 Desoto tail fins & lights and a 1958 Caddy bumper (rear).
What did I miss?
The 1989 Ford Taurus rear axle. But who's counting.
The volani sea ranger is my favourite because it looks like an military vehicle
The Columbus and the Toronado are the look the best.
#4, #3 and #1 are my favorite...the no1 "Bubble car" is an absolute work of art ! I could spend hours looking at it.

68 Oldsmobile Toronado 707 Limousine - Definitely something Elvis would have owned.
awesome 👍
1:11 puts a whole new meaning to owning a land yacht
The Optica arson attack story is pretty crazy. Y'all in the experimental tech world are brutal....😁
The girl at the end was the most interesting, so she gets my thumps up.
La Man my thoughts exactly. Lol
My thoughts exactly!
I think she is a Alien in a rubber suit . Notice the monotone color of the skin and long neck.
I second that emotion!
The thirst of YT commenters is real

I like the 7/9 set BMW. With all the recreational vehicles getting around now, fitting it out with fridge, microwave, etc it would make a hit.
I had once a orange plastic miniature of that BMW Columbus bought in Southern India.... didn’t knew what it was supposed to be... till now! Thank you 🙏
It was crushed, by accident, in my latest move 😔 😁
😭😭😭😭 bummer! At least you found out what it was 👍
Cassie at 12:07 has a very high cuteness factor. Cheers!
Nooo! Her makeup is an abomination.
I want that sea ranger, reckon if I offer my first born it'd tickle their fancy?? lol. But that seriously is one awesome ride
I Loved #13 :) Hope they build more of them again.
I love the BMW Columbus , i would buy that today if it was released on the market for sale.

Hello Mike Tee, thank you for watching!
Definitely the BMW Columbus, it’s a pity it never made it to production.
I see Gurgel, I upvote. Go and make a video about the man behind the Gurgel cars. Thank me later.
Love that BMW futuristic design
I like the Columbus...That would be an awesome cruising/RV/camper...
1. Looks like something you would see in Futurama.
the best part is right at the end. What a beauty :)
Nice video!!
I love both Columbus and sea-ranget
5:21 when u see it, u can't unsee it.
I really liked the Columbus!
BMW Columbus is amazing. It just needs to be an electric vehicle
Fun stuff. All very interesting.
The BME Colombus is the first BMW to really catch my eye. I really like tge different desine
اقسم بالله حموووووووووووت .... ابدع ممثل كاميرا خفية في العااااااالم ..... برنامج نمبر ١ ...
Of this list, I like the Columbus the best. I remember reading a review of it many years ago and always hoped to see it produced.
The sea ranger. An amphibious unimog, yes please. Would be expensive as hell but as an avid off roader and overlander I can't think of a better overland chassis to do it on.
it was because this car was a compact car, And that very good brand also had other concepts and was just starting to ride cars.
THE GURGEL IS VERY GOOOOOOOOOOD CAR.
BMW Columbus. Very nice
awesome video guys!!! man #2 is beyond crazy it plain doesn't make sense !!
The best part is the pretty girl at the end.
I stay
Gado D+
You guys make awesome videos!!!!!!Keep up the good work
I'd love to have an Italdesign Columbus and retrofit it to a class C RV.
Thanks
I like the BMW Columbus.
Good job!
wow....early 30-40-50-60- ....those were days....now we can feel them on our smart phones..just ...imagine...wat a time
Cars were made advanced from their time but never mind these experimental cars gave us idea to make cars better. Also the model at end is really beautiful and has a killing smile
i would actually buy one of the oldsmobile limos and that bmw van. i like both of them a lot.
The Columbus Should Be Made
Hey, no robot voice! Thank you! Thank you!
Those dsls in pink where my favorite.

Does the Capsula have Fiat Uno front end? Bumper, headlights, grill?
it was made by the same studio
Id love to own the sea ranger, that thing is awesome.
Thank you
To me The Columbus is the best 👌😍❤
WOW . What a wacky way to pass the time . Loved them all.
I would buy the Toronodo in a heartbeat
Love it!!
