5 Most bizarre vehicles ever made

VZ-9A Avrocar: This flying saucer was actually created to be a flying car. Tested by the US Air Force in the 1950s in a partnership project with Canada, the hovercraft barely flew 4-6 feet high, and failed to stabilize or fly any higher than that.

Fiat Panda 4x4 monster truck: This version of Fiat Panda was made for a television commercial, and has now been retired to a museum.

Peraves Ecomobile: This vehicle originated from a BMW K series motor-cycle engine. This one has a set of front and back wheels, with a smaller set of side wheels, that automatically deploy electrically at low speeds, to keep it from tipping over. The car has many features of a luxury car, except for a steering wheel! Yes, the vehicle actually steers with handlebars like a motorcycle.

1967 OSI Silver Fox prototype: Made by the Italian car manufacturer OSI in the 1960s, this car was able to reach a hundred mile per hour, even though it was a bit aerodynamically challenged. Unfortunately the company ran out of money in 1968.

Zombie Proof Maybach: Are you worried about the zombie apocalypse? You aren’t alone! Based on the 2005 Maybach Exelero protoype, this monster vehicle features tracks on rear wheel, which are inspired by tanks, to help you drive around or over zombies. The car also has machine guns and a rocket launcher mounted on its back.
