# 10 Swan Car\r
The Brooke Swan Car was first built in 1910 by a wealthy British engineer named Robert Nicholl Matthewson that is equipped with a bunch of really strange pieces of equipment. On the front of the Wooden Swan car is a hot water spray in the beak that allows the driver to clear the streets. It even had a valve on the swans backside that dropped whitewash into the street to make it more lifelike. \r

# 9 Flatmobile\r
The Flatmobile is the worlds lowest vehicle and Guinness world record for the “flattest vehicle ever.” It is only nineteen inches from the bottom of the car to the top and looks almost vaguely like a strange permutation of the Batmobile. Its creator Perry Watkins even put a turbine jet engine on the back of it which is extra comical. Despite the jet engine and less than two feet of car, it is ually street legal. \r
\r
\r
# 8 Thrust SSC \r
The Thrust SSC or Super Sonic Car is a cartoonish looking vehicle that can reach a speed of 766 miles per hour, making it the fastest vehicle ever. It is equipped with two incredibly heavy, 25,000 pound Rolls Royce 205 Turbojet engines. This gives the vehicle a total power equivalent to 145 Formula 1 cars. The small car weighs a dense 10 tons which make the speed almost even more impressive. \r

# 7 Mini Cooper Stretch Limo\r
When you think of a stretch limo, you usually think of a luxury ride fit for the rich and famous. However, theres a stretch limo that looks more like it belongs to a quirky young adult, the Mini Cooper XXL. Its got all the style of a Mini Cooper but the length of a huge stretch limo, complete with an extra set of wheels. \r

# 6 Loremo LS\r
The Loremo LS was a product of the German automaker corporation known as Loremo AG that aimed to make low weight car that was eco-conscious. The prototypes weighed only 450 kilograms or 990 pounds which makes it super light and allows it go 157 miles per gallon. The strangest aspect of the design is the front loading doors that make it look straight out of a sci-fi . \r

# 5 Mattrack Truck\r
Heavy trucks can usually make it through most terrains, but some snow is just too difficult for a vehicle to cross. Thats where the Mattrack Trucks come into play, theyre normal trucks and ATVs but equipped with belts that let them conquer any environments. These belts let you cross deep snow and even small crevasses, although they do look a little ridiculous. \r
\r
\r
# 4 Spirit of Lemons\r
Another car fabricated for the 24-hour LeMon races is this: the Spirit of Lemons. It barely looks like a car with this metal facade in the shape of a plane. A LeMon race regular known as Jeff Bloch or “Speedycop” is behind the Spirit of Lemons. While driving around an airplane shaped car is probably not the most convenient thing to do, the LeMon races are more about having fun than winning anyway.\r

# 3 Citroen C4 Cus\r
Crossovers are family friendly cars for the big family that doesnt necessarily want to drive a big ol minivan. While the crossover is a sensible car for a family of four or five, it can be a pain and maybe even dangerous to drive in the big city. Thats where the Citroen C4 Cus comes in with its strange and almost gimmicky “air bumpers” on each side of the car. The bumps on each side of the vehicle are filled with air and are inspired by the shape of a “cus” and are meant to help protect against dents and scratches. \r
\r
\r
# 2 Shell Helix Transparent Car\r
In new, Shell promoted their new Shell Helix Ultra oil with a “glass car”. The car itself was a Nissan 370Z sports car made of perspex, a clear acrylic material that looks a lot like glass. The car was made in the ex ratio of the Nissan 370Z and has nearly 3,000 different components. The car is completely functional and has a working engine that will ually pull it forward. \r
\r
# 1 Amish Vacation Trailer\r
This vehicle is the weirdest combination of different cultures that seem to take aspects of pre-modern culture in with a contemporary one. It looks like a couple of Amish people are going on a long cross country trip and packed into a camper carried by a bunch of horses.
