3 Super-Weird Cars That Flopped

 AMPHICAR:

The Amphicar, as you can probably guess from the name, is a Boat-car. As a matter-of-fact, it is the only amphibious car ever put into production. One particular owner who had the "fortune" of riding in one said: "When on the road, it always felt like it was going to tip over, and when on the lake, it didn't inspire much confidence either. Nonetheless, it was pretty much the coolest thing ever". Besides, as Jay Leno put it: "All right, this is stupid fun".

ELIO MOTORS 1

  This one is interesting. To borrow Elio's slogan on their website: "Elio is more than a car. Our goal is to revolutionize American transportation. We're creating the ultimate commuter vehicle for virtually every budget. One that gets up to 84 mpg, has a targeted base price of just $7450, and will create in excess of 1500 American jobs". The only catch, however, is that they've been saying this 11 years, and they still have nothing to offer, citing "76 weeks from now" as the ever-postponing release date. As you can imagine, they are struggling for cash, or "capital" as they prefer to call it.

APTERA 2E

  The story of the futuristic Aptera is nearly identical to the Elio's. A brand that promises to revolutionize mankind, only they can't raise the funds to make it happen. You might have heard of Aptera recently, and probably assumed it was a new startup. However, this is far from the case, as Aptera has been around for nearly 20 years. I'm noticing something: 3-wheeled cars are usually a scam! You should probably stay clear of this one, as enticing it seems.
