When it comes to the world of cars, the designers are always coming up with new wacky ways of driving. Most of us have our hearts set on that Ferrari, or want to pull up on the drive in a Lamborghini but what about the bizarre cars? Would you fancy any of them?

While there are many people who are looking for a new car or used cars UK, here is a list of the top five most bizarre concept cars built by various manufacturers in the past 20 years.

Nissan Land Glider – One of Nissan’s zero-emission concepts, the Land Glider concept makes the car lean when you turn because of a computer controlled steering system. The driver sits in the centre, and there is a spot for a passenger behind them. The narrow car has replaced the steering wheel with a flight yoke, while there’s also a futuristic dashboard and there are monitors to cater for the fact that there are no rear view mirrors in the car.

Heuliez Friendly – It’s almost a mini campervan that is powered by electrons. It is a friendly looking, good for the environment concept that debuted at the Paris Motor Show back in 2008. With three different lengths and motors, this car sits you and two friends and can reach 70 miles per hour with a battery usage of around 140 miles.

Renault Z.E. – One of the bizarre concepts that has made waves in the market in this car from Renault. The Z.E. is used on a battery pack with electrons coming from a lithium ion battery pack. The body panels and heat reflecting paint ensure that the car is insulated, and it is the temperature regulation that lends itself to a reduced climate control load. What it does, ultimately, is lower energy consumption while have modern comforts.

Venturi Volage – An all-electric, carbon fiber race car, this hand-made car is a compact unit using electric drive motors. Each wheel has two motors, with one for propulsion and the other for suspension. The low centre of gravity helps to enhance the performance of the vehicle.

Mazda Kiyora – Part of the “flow” concept vehicles, this car has a look of a spaceship, more than an automobile but the 1.3 litre engine it boasts allows you to calmly cruise the urban streets. This next-generation compact car is known for high fuel-efficiency and is the next step into an urban car to replace their current line.

With many people thinking about lowering their emissions, it’s a great time to be buying concept cars for having in and around the city. Known for stylish interiors, exteriors and designs these are the future of motoring.

Renault’s home auto show in Paris this Fall will mark the beginning of a new styling direction for the brand, and that means a new concept car. The DeZir is the first major project under new design vice president Laurens van den Acker and according to Renault, it represents the vision of ‘simple’, ‘sensuous’ and ‘warm.’ From where we sit, the shape certainly fulfills the first two elements and the bright red finish is downright hot.

Expect this to be the face of future Renault models, such as the next-generation Laguna. Scissor doors add to the dramatic exterior appearance, while the rear window is replaced by two cameras that produce a panoramic rearward view for the driver.

Inside, the red exterior makes way for a one-piece bench trimmed in contrasting white leather, designed to represent the attraction between two people.

Power comes from a vertically mounted 24kWh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, fed to a 148bhp mid-mounted electric motor. This gives Audi e-tron-rivalling performance, with 0-60mph in only five seconds and a top speed of 112mph.

Propulsion is provided by a 110 kilowatt electric motor spinning the rear wheels and pushing the 1,830 pound concept to 60 mph in 5 seconds (at least according to the spec sheet). Kevlar body panels (including a pair of trick reverse-hinged butterfly doors) are wrapped around a steel tube frame chassis with double wishbones at all four corners. Renault hasn’t given any indication yet if the DeZir will be produced.

Celebrating the enormous success of the DBS and V12 Vantage which have surpassed all sales expectations since launch, the new special editions add a typically understated flair to these acclaimed models. Featuring bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina. Each car will undergo 50 man-hours of hand painting followed by stringent quality checks. For the V12 Vantage the iconic Aston Martin side strake has been fashioned from real carbon fibre backed by a black mesh and complimented with gloss black 10 spoke diamond turned alloy wheels. A bright finished grille and front parking sensors (normally an option) complete the exterior detailing.

Inside, owners will be greeted to swathes of Obsidian Black leather highlighted with a contrast silver coarse stitch all hand stitched by the craftspeople at Gaydon – Aston Martin’s global headquarters in England.

Lightweight seats formed from Carbon Fibre and Kevlar saving 17 kg over the standard seat also feature together with Piano black facia trim, centre stack and centre console, anodised black tread plates and unique sill plaques build on the carbon theme. The Aston Martin 700w Premium Audio System is delivered as standard in the V12 Vantage while the DBS boasts the Bang & Olufsen Beosound DBS audio system as standard.

Customers who order a Carbon Black Edition V12 Vantage will have the opportunity to experience Aston Martin’s renowned Performance Driving Course (UK and Europe only) free of charge which offers a memorable day helping customers to equip themselves with the skill sets to enhance the enjoyment of their Aston Martin on the track.

The Carbon Black Editions are available to order from the official Aston Martin dealership network with final pricing (expected to be approximately 5% over current base prices) to be confirmed in the New Year.

Aston Martin have created cars of the highest quality and style to match in the past, and if you’re lucky, you could find some of these models second hand at www.motors.co.uk
