here are some odd cars from odd countries starting off with the Argo Russia is known for two things being absolutely massive and vodka vodka plays a very important role in everyday life including engineering the result a car with eight wheels eight and it can go on water they don't know me son this thing was actually designed by engineer Maxim melen Chinko who also worked at a tractor Factory so of course his natural progression in his career was to move on to an eight-wheel mon rity this thing kind of looks like a tank right well it
weighs almost half what the new M5 weighs for the next car we traveled to the UK specifically for a company that decided to make a car for a commercial to do so they decided to get inspiration from a movie this is when they came to the conclusion that the best movie to get inspired from was Monster Inc and specifically Mike wasowski no I'm not lying look this is the Asylum P car which had a go-kart chassis a Honda engine and the headlights from a Volkswagen Beetle ah Switzerland land of chocolate Watchers and money from a
country that's so well known for these things the last thing you'd expect is a car and you're right I mean why on God's green earth would they make a car so they didn't instead they made a car submarine what the CEO of rinp speed watched one to many James Bond movies and decided why not make a car that can also be used underwater your eyes are not fooling you that is indeed a very Lotus looking car that's because it is a Lotus chassis using three electric motors the S Cuba wow okay very smart name had
two water jets and a feature which floods the interior allowing it to achieve a speed of 1.9 M an hour underwater North Korea the country rare being a general has an 80% mortality rate it seems I mean one day big Kim walks by and doesn't like your shoes and before you know it you're not even history so imagine the pressure on the guy making their cars it seems North Korea realized that they can't scam countries anymore like they did with Volvo and Sweden by ordering cars getting them deliver and tearing up the invoice because what
Sweden will do something take them to court tell them to pay apparently so as they keep sending them invoices this is why I actually sympathize with ponga who make their cars why do I sympathize because take a look at it it's a knockoff of a Land Cruiser pra the ponga Pronto I can totally see why they did it though I mean it would be way harder to justify firing someone from life itself if all they did was copy an already successful car though for their own safety I do hope it was at least slightly reliable
all right time to jump on our donkeys and head to ancient Carthage and then Le forward a few thousand years to modern day Tunisia where this the W's car Isis is made or Isis Isis Isis I don't know it's a mix of some cars but I can't tell exactly what cards but I can tell exactly that it's a mix it's so weird this was actually the company's first ever car coming into production in October of 2008 with a tu 3A engine from PSA pjo the car was I guess decently reliable if I'm being honest especially
looking at its shape and design and for a smaller company selling 2,000 of these before it was replaced in 2017 is genuinely not bad pretty cool entry but hey this is a tquo video I can't be putting actual good cars so let's go for a terrible one next shut up in Chinese [Music] the game over the land of silk the factory of the world the place where car manufacturers have a tendency to take creative inspiration from other brands I have a lot of cars to choose here but what makes Chinese cars truly odd are their
names first off we've got the Tanga Detroit Fish Detroit Fish okay we have a Nissan van ROV called the J long super long and the dong Fang Fu Kang but let's go with a Gil car as they are one of the biggest brands in China I present to you the G BL pause what is that BL could stand for buttlift but it doesn't it could also stand for boy love but it doesn't but the Chinese say that it stands for beauty leopard talk about an odd name but that's because it's a direct translation from Mandarin
sort of in Mandarin it actually means beautiful person leopard I'm going to stop here before I start losing brain cells if you're wondering whether your eyes are fooling you or not right now let me clarify they're not this car is inspired by a Toyota Celica and a Honda Integra Oh Canada also known as the 51st American state I am so sorry to all of the Canadians watching I won't say it again Canada is known for a lot of things including overly polite people and a girl I really don't like but they're also known for vehicles
unexpected Vehicles the tadine girka is a great example built on a Ford F550 chassis for the low price of just $349,000 they also have the incast century another armored truck dang lots of armored trucks I mean it is understandable as they are the 51st state Canada also has some really cool and odd cars for sure but it's time to show Africa some love to my African homies this one is for you Africa is known for its wildlife and Uganda specifically is known for this as they have massive conservatories for these animals you may be wondering
what does Wildlife have to do with cars well nothing I need to get this video to a certain duration what do you think I can Yap without a transition Kira motors with two eyes is a Ugandan company that produces cars and buses being owned by the government of Uganda itself this is the EVs and there really isn't a lot of information on this thing I can't lie firstly the headlights remind me of a Sonata and the rest is just there at least at Uganda so it will show you I genuinely wish I could tell you
more about this thing but I swear to God there is no information I can find out [Music] did you enjoy my Japanese skills you did oh good because I didn't that took me way too fuing long anyway Japan isn't an odd country especially when it comes to cars but the mitsuoka Orochi is odd especially when it comes to cars this is not a banger and I know bangers I know bangers the catfish car first revealed as a concept in 2001 it gets that's its name from the Japanese Orochi the eight-headed dragon it's based on the
NSX and was a sports car then in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show mitsuoka revealed the convertible version calling it The mitsuoka Orochi n top what are you looking at you this car is widely regarded as the ugliest car ever made though I don't think so I mean sure it's ugly hella ugly but come on not as ugly as some others mitsuoka says that the car is not just a sports car but a fashion superar that's because the intention was to grab attention from everyone when riding this though I guess they didn't really care about
the type of attention they gathered similar to Logan Paul the uaz 452 a car truck van thing that I so desperately want the Soviet VW bus the leather van the loaf van here's one with an M60 slapped on top of it here's one with tank tracks and here's one with contact explosive reactive arm this thing can truly do it all but by far the best one is this the uaz helicopter van I got to get one soon for real don't forget to join the Discord for more car content
