The Abruzzi has a decent appearance, but you will notice the awkward front design upon close examination. At first glance, the Abruzzi seems reasonable—albeit with rather small side mirrors. However, there’s something simply off-putting about their awkwardly-high placement.

But there are some redeeming qualities. The hand-built Abruzzi has a recyclable, shatterproof, and dent-resistant body made from carbon fiber. The body rests on a steel-framed chassis. Its six-speed manual transmission engine delivers 640 hp with 590 ft-lbs of torque.

It also has rear-mounted radiators that help reduce its aerodynamic drag. Produced in 2011, only 81 units are available, each serving as an homage to the

races that have been run since 1923.

Yamaha OX99-11

This

Yamaha OX99-11

leaves you wondering what designers sought to achieve. Yamaha's intention was for this one-seater sports car to feature in the Formula One season back in 1992. The performance is accordingly raw, as the OX99-11 is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a 400 hp engine and a six-speed manual transmission.

It has a short wheelbase and an aerodynamic shape with an unforgettable appearance. Its canopy-style cockpit roof and tandem in-line seating are other noticeable features. High production costs and low demand pushed Yamaha to shut down the project. Only three OX99-11 cars are now in existence.

This American two-seat convertible sports car features a tapered front end, a bubbled back and arching wheel wells. It also has a manually operated cloth top roof. The Plymouth Prowler was first rolled out in 1997 with a four-speed, automatic transmission V6 engine that delivered 214 horsepower.

In 1999, Chrysler motors released an updated model with 253 horsepower. And it got fancier, equipping leather seats, cruise control, air conditioning, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. But it never caught on. Chrysler gave up on production in 2002 after owners complained of limited width, less trunk space, road noise, and limited visibility.

The awkward appearance of this car combines a wedged front with a bloated rear. Its 843cc Fiat engine is at the back and delivers a mere 47 hp. Weighing 625 kg, it has a steel body and a four-speed manual transmission with a top speed of 100 mph.

Retractable bucket headlights pop out of the sharp-pointed hood. The interior is similarly awkward, as its dashboard is centralized and difficult to reach for the driver. Its designer, Carrozzeria Francis Lombardi, a WWI flying ace, was originally an aircraft builder. Following its release in 1968, the car's production lasted for four years, ceasing in 1972.

GDT Speedster

The speedster at first appears to be a classic droptop. It has a Corvette LT1 V8 engine with 300hp. Over 2,000 components went towards making this hand-built sports car. It has a front with a cartoonish look with a polished aluminum mustache grille.

The windshield angle is 19 degrees, with a front-hinged hood that allows for access to the engine compartment. At the rear, the vehicle features an aluminum or polished stainless steel exhaust system. Also, the rear deck opens backward to reveal a storage compartment located behind the seats.
