12 of the ugliest cars of all time

Since looks are known to be a matter of taste, we decided to forego a hit parade and present our selection alphabetically. What do you think is the ugliest car of all time? Let us know in the comments below.

Audi A2

Blow once and you’re done! Audi’s Sparmobil A2 is somewhat reminiscent of a bloated TT. The compact van has coupé-like wheel arches and a curved roof. But at the rear this momentum stops abruptly to one side. Even more impressive: the mini-diesel with measly consumption (2.99 l/100 km). But A2 was too expensive to be successful.

Citroen C3 Pluriel

A small car that can be converted from a city bus to a convertible limousine, a convertible or even a pick-up – all in a few simple steps. But the design suffered a little from the mandatory flexibility, which was not well thought out. Because there was no room for removable roof bars. That’s why they need to stay home and the weather be kind to you.

Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible

Some blind buyers may have cried for their money on the first ride: the PT Cruiser went from enthusiasm to disappointment in those grueling twelve seconds with the petrol engine and automatic transmission reaching 100 km/h. It was originally supposed to revive American hot rods, but it did not succeed. The open version was a little scarier and resembled a rolling tub, like today’s SUV convertibles.

Commuter Car Tango T600

Would the lady at the wheel still smile so friendly if she had to look at things from the outside? The narrow-gauge mobile phone known as the Tango T600 isn’t just out of line in design. Or do you think that 600 electric kW (815 hp) and over 1300 Nm of power slumber under the desolate sheet and accelerate the tiny car to 100 km/h in four seconds? Even we are smiling now.

Fiat Multipla

With its weird rim under the windshield and bewildering headlights, the Multipla is considered by many to be one of the ugliest cars in the world. He regularly tops such hit parades. For others it is art. Because precisely because of this design, the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited a Multipla.

Ford Edsel

The Edsel is often cited as the greatest failure in automotive history. With a lot of money and fanfare, Ford launched a car with a grille designed to resemble a woman’s genitals. Unbearable for the cautious USA of the fifties. Today, people generously ignore this and are happy to pay 50,000 Stutz for a convertible Edsel.

Nissan Micra C+C

Convertibles seem a bit difficult for car designers to drive. The Nissan Micra C+C is already the third clean-air car among the twelve ugliest cars. When it was closed, you couldn’t know exactly where the front was and which was the back. Unfortunately, the ugly duckling didn’t turn into the beautiful swan when the roof was opened…

Pontiac Aztec

Pontiac was once the junior sports brand on the other side of Chevy, Buick. Then he was rescued dead: Pontiacs became the Chevy with the Pontiac logo. Ironically, the ugly Aztec should re-profile the Pontiac and save it on the SUV trend. It’s a big flop. Pontiac sank in 2010. But meanwhile, the Aztec has become a cult object thanks to his role as the drug lord’s car on the US hit series Breaking Bad.

Ssang Yong Rodius

There’s no better way to say it than “TopGear”: “It was broken like a bar fight and reassembled by a blind man.” Just like our taste buds, the South Korean brand has just gotten rid of the ridiculous idea of ​​going for an ugly design instead of a conservative one. The first Rodius was still fair in itself: helm à la divination stick, but enough room for a seven and a 4×4 at a budget price. Its successor is hardly noticeable visually.

Tesla Cyber ​​Truck

Others make coffee by design. The Tesla Cybertruck looks like a wheeled Bialetti coffee machine. Elon Musk may have rocked the car world, but he got it wrong with the electric pickup. Fans celebrate the risk and predict the next success. The many oddly angled edges and faces should at least confuse radar, since stealth bombers look like that.

Toyota Mirai

We can do without this future. With the hydrogen car Mirai (Japanese for the future), Toyota offers an alternative to electric cars and long charging times. Fortunately, hydrogen can be refueled as quickly as petrol or diesel, because we don’t want to be seen near the sled for too long. The large air intakes at the front seem to want to swallow the road. Fortunately, the second-generation Mirai has also become a car visually.

Weber A Faster (F1)

Even we Swiss have not rented beauty. This Bugatti fighter was built in 2008 by Roman Weber of Thurgau. At over 420 km/h, Weber Sportscar’s Faster One is ultra-fast Swiss precision work. It is a pity that the design resembles a mass.
