Normal vehicles are not for everyone. Thankfully, people take what was once a normal creation and turn it into a one of a kind set of wheels. Here is a collection of the world’s most unique vehicles, guaranteed to cause maximum rubbernecking. Enjoy.
Hemi Trike

That thing got a HEMI? The answer is yes.
The Pac Man Car

The epitome of geekiness

Surface Orbiter

New Yorker Rick Dobbertin built the amphibious Surface Orbiter out of a milk truck in order to cross the world via land and sea. It took him 4 years, $175,000 and 14,000 man hours to complete.

Rocket Bike

…fast enough to beat a Porsche in a drag race. In fact, the rocket bike employs the same hybrid rocket technology as the suborbital spaceplane SpaceShipOne

Ford Windstar Monster Van

Some people will do anything to make the minivan look cool.

Land Speeder

So, if you had to build a Landspeeder which car would you use as the base?A 1988 Ford Escort.

The Camera Van

Harrod Blank had a dream in which he covered his car with cameras, then drove around town to take pictures of people on the streets. Two years later, with help of his friends, Harrod completed the Camera Van (complete with working cameras!)

Tank Chair

Tank chair is a Custom off-road wheelchair that can go anywhere outdoors. Conquers Streams, Mud, Snow, Sand, and Gravel, allowing you to get back to nature, and can also climb up and down stairs.
High Heel Shoe Car

I think I saw my Podiatrist driving this.

Jet Powered Beetle

This monster is powered by two engines (original up front, jet in back) and is perfectly street legal since you’re only using the gasoline powered engine in normal driving conditions. But if you’re feeling adventurous, fire up the jet engine – which spins up to 26,000 rpm/13,000 rpm idle

The fastest stupid car ever
So what happens when a motorized couch, dumpster, shed and on-road powerboat face off on the track? Just hit play to find out.
