Cars from Europe have the ugliest designs

Many legendary models from Ferrari and Aston Martin can fetch millions of dollars at auction, thanks to their great looks and incredible performance. However, not every European car is as beautiful as those timeless classics, and European automakers have had their fair share of design disasters.

From bulbous MPVs to cars that look like angry insects, there are plenty of contenders for the title of “Europe’s ugliest car”. The list below will introduce 10 European models that are rated as the ugliest ever produced.

10. Sin S1

Bulgarian startup Sin launched their latest car – the S1, in 2018, which surprised anyone with a normal aesthetic. The car was almost deliberately deformed from its original shape, like someone decided to turn it into the ugliest-looking sports car possible.

Perhaps it was an attempt to appeal to some of the public, and if so, the car succeeded, as it was widely referred to as one of the ugliest cars ever produced. That attention didn’t turn to sales, however, as Sin struggled to find a buyer for the model.

9. Weber Faster One

Another ambitious startup – Swiss manufacturer, Weber made a very bold decision when they first launched the Faster One supercar in 2008. It is said to be the fastest car in the world, usurped the throne from Bugatti and surpassed competition from the likes of Koenigsegg and the State Securities Commission at the time.

However, it’s also one of the most expensive cars ever, with a reported starting price of over 1.6 million Swiss Francs. That hefty price tag, combined with the fact that the car has a rather ugly design, means that sales of the model are zero, and it is only considered a prototype.

8. Exocet G-Type

British kit carmakers are famous for making ugly cars, and the Exocet G-Type summarizes exactly why they have such a reputation. The car was upgraded from a Mazda Miata, then converted with a kit to make it 50% lighter than the old Mazda.

The car has a weird bug-like front design and exposed chassis making it one of the ugliest kit cars. However, the point of saving this car is the relatively cheap price that makes it easier for users to access.

7. Alfa Romeo SZ

Alfa Romeo is known for its stunning designs and Zagato is known for creating unique car creations. The SZ is a collaboration between the two companies, but it doesn’t deliver the timeless beauty many fans had hoped for.

With six headlights and a squarish rear end, the model can be seen as a design failure. However, the prices of these rare vintage pieces from Italy keep increasing every year.

6. Veritas RS3

This BMW-powered supercar is produced by Veritas – a car company based on BMW chassis and parts for more than 50 years. The RS3 debuted in the early 2000s, initially as a design prototype, before being produced in a limited run of 30 units in 2010.

The car’s angry look is angrier and more aggressive with the grille and headlights combining to create a design that resembles the smile of a cartoon villain. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a very fast car, and Veritas ended up selling all 30 despite its outlandish looks.

5. Bugatti EB112

Bugatti, the manufacturer that created the Veyron and Chiron decided to build a 4-door luxury super GT based on their EB110 supercar. The EB112 shares many of the EB110’s internal features, including its engine, but has a much higher roofline to increase rear passenger space.

The design was undertaken by Italdesign and was originally planned to produce the entire car, but Bugatti’s financial difficulties meant that only three models were produced before the process was halted due to manual labor. bankruptcy proceedings.

4. Marcos Mantis M70

Marcos is a British light sports car manufacturer that tried to differentiate and create a larger model with 4 seats in 1970. The result was a design mess that looked like two Different people have designed the front and rear of the car. .

Worse still, the Mantis M70 is equipped with a Triumph engine even when the company is known for its low-quality components. As a result, the car did not enjoy the reliability or commercial success.

3. Rinspeed X-Trem MUV

Rinspeed is a Swiss automaker known for producing unique prototype cars, but the X-Trem MUV remains a forgettable product. It was originally intended to be a combination of useful improvements but both its function and appearance were old and ugly.

The car’s odd rear proportions are due to an improperly designed cargo space, plus a small rear-mounted crane that is said to make loading heavier items easier. No wonder this car was never taken seriously when it was launched in 1999 and only one was built.

2. IFR Automotive Aspid

Spanish carmaker IFR Automotive has produced the Aspid since 2008, but it hasn’t made much of an impact in the sports car world. One major reason is the starting price of around $145,000, making it an expensive car.

The biggest problem, however, is the car’s appearance, as it looks a bit like an old Caterham but is much uglier. However, this model is still sold for 14 years from the factory.

1. Fiat Multipla

One of Fiat’s most notorious vehicles ever, the Multipla is defined by its curvaceous silhouette and uncanny proportions. It’s hard to find a car as bad as this 7-seater model.

Despite its gruesome design, the car was in production for twelve years, with the signature two-stage headlights eventually being replaced by a more conventional but still very ugly upgraded design. It’s not the fastest car on this list, but taking a lap in a Multipla is sure to attract a lot of attention because of its “one-of-a-kind” look.
