Coolest Eccentric Cars on Earth
They are rare, eccentric and extraordinary. Nonetheless, those attributes do not keep your fantasies from drifting - the cravings keep you company. They are cool and amazing. These are the reasons that made the cars etched in the mind of aficionados. They are not on the mainstream then but they steadfastly wowing enthusiasts from the past up until the present.
When car eccentricity becomes the subject of a talk, one of the models that will come to mind is the Countach from Lamborghini. Countach was a supercar produced in 1973 and lasted until its production was halted in 1990. It popularized the wedge-shaped, sharp angled style that some high performance cars currently still use these days. In Countach’s time, kids and adults alike are swept by this Italian supercar. But the car hexed oddness that attracted only a significant few. It was bordering on tasteless. In fact, the automaker itself disclosed that Ferrari owners think Lambos are props for the nouveau riche attention hounds.
The Lamborghi Countach styling was penned by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio, famed for his striking design. The trademark of the car is its 'scissors' fashion doors with hinges. The doors could be tilted forwards or lifted up. Eventually, the car’s visual impression and design made it an iconic car in the industry.
On the roads, one eccentric car that could catch everyone’s interest is Ford Motor Corporation's Mustang. The prototype styling of the car is designed by Donald N. Frey but the remodeled four-seat car version was created by David Ash and Joseph Oros in Ford's Lincoln–Mercury Division design studios. Most of Mustang’s mechanical parts were taken from its sibling Falcon however; its body shell was entirely different from the latter. Mustang boasts of its "torque box," an auto innovative structural system that stiffened the body of the car to promote better handling. Ford cold air intake, engine, brakes, fenders and other body parts integrated to the car are designed to boost its eccentricity, appeal and performance.
General Motors’ Chevrolet Corvette also has a legion of devotees. Corvette, produced since 1953, was the first all-American sports car built by an American automaker. Corvettes radiate both power and style. Powerful engines like the LS2 producing 400 horsepower and the LS7 with 505 horsepower run the car. Corvettes put emphasis on technical intricacy and minimalism.
Other eccentric stunners on the roads include the Porsche 911, Jeep Wrangler, Mini Cooper, Dodge Challenger and the Volkswagen Beetle. The coolest eccentric cars include new race cars, supercars, and other exotic vehicles. Luxury cars like the Lincoln Continental and the Cadillac Eldorado are also deemed members of the “cult.”
The coolest eccentric cars list include the DeLorean DMC, with a one-of-a-kind trendy shape; the Lamborghini Miura and the Mercedes-Benz 300SL with the Gullwing philosophy; Plymouth Fury; Pontiac Catalina; Chevy Bel Air; old-school Oldsmobiles and other aircraft carriers with outrageous angular design.
The AC Cobra and the Ford Deuce Coupe also made it to the list. In regard to brands BMW one of the leaders of stylish and exotic cars. BMW’s M1, Z1 and Z8, manufactured in limited numbers, have captivated even the unconventional enthusiasts. Jaguar, a Scandinavian luxury brand, flaunts the E-Type. The latter emerges on almost all lists of the domineering sports cars.
Aston Martins, Bentleys, Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, and the all-time favorite Ferraris would never skip any list of the coolest and most eccentric cars in planet earth. Though they are pricey, they are sumptuous, prevailing and universally praised.
