5 Weirdest Cars You Would Not Believe Actually Exist

EDITOR’S PICK:

Are you a fan of James Bond, Mission Impossible, and those science fiction films set in the future?

Then You won’t want to miss this, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some of the weirdest cars you won’t believe actually exist.

1. Rinspeed sQuba

How many times have you truly wished for a car from the James Bond movie, the one that could travel on both water and land and even dive underwater like a submarine? Well, now your dream is no longer quite farfetched. Rinspped sQuba, an amphibious convertible concept car was created by Rinspeed.

The idea for this car was taken from none other than James Bond Movie. And guess what? It can glide over water, swim in water like a submarine and go as fast as 120km/h on land. How cool is that!

2. Terrafugia Transition

While most of us dream of a car that can travel over water, some of us would do practically anything to skip the rush hour traffic and get to wherever we would like to go in time and in a matter of minutes.

Fortunately, this dream isn’t a dream anymore, with the Terrafugia Transition flying car. It works on land and has folded wings that, when unfurled, resemble the actual wings on a plane. It has been under creation since 2006 and each such unit costs about US $279,000. Two of these cars are currently in the manufacturing phase. They will be ready to use in 2017.

3. Superbus

Once upon a time, there were buses that were used as a common mode of public transportation in most parts of the world.

But now, thanks to Dutch Astronaut Delft University of Technology, we have a high speed electric coach-like car at our disposal that not only looks like a highly evolved limo with butterfly doors on both sides, but can also seat up to 25 passengers comfortably and reach speeds of around 250l km/h.

4. BMW GINA

When we hear a name like BMW GINA, we may assume that the term GINA derives from the name a lady. GINA is actually an acronym that stands for “Geometry and Functions in ‘N’ Adaptations.” Chris Bangle developed it as a concept sports automobile.

This is a cutting-edge vehicle with exteriors made completely of a shape-shifting fabric, which means it will not overheat even in extreme temperatures and is water resistant.
