This is surely an interesting era for car-enthusiasts, an exciting period for the most unusual customization of concept cars. Car design can be too ambitious, but when it comes to some bizarre modifications in the design you may ask yourself what’s really going on. The special edition or just one person’s creativity that got out of hand may result in some truly unique outcomes. Here you could find 17 of the strangest car modifications and designs ever made.
1. Siamese twins’ Mini
No one really knows how Frank Jessop and Neville Holmes (from Collingham, Nottinghamshire), decided to design and build this conjoined twin Mini. This is truly one of the strangest cars ever. It seems as if the two Minis reversed into each other and someone just decided to weld them together. As said before the first idea and the reason of making such a Mini is still unknown, but what exactly is the benefit of having a double-ended car?
2. Picasso’s Citroen
There’s no doubt that this 1983 Citroen 2CV is an authentic Picasso design. In this special edition, everything has got a bit jumbled. 44-year-old mechanic Andy Saunders of Dorset must have been a big fan of the artist.
3. 1972 Mini Outspan Orange
The Outspan Orange car is unique in its kind and format. The completely modified Mini is like an orange. It’s hardly a performance car with a top speed of 30mph, but don’t forget that it has an interesting option as the car could roll over if you would like to go any faster.
4. Volkswagen Beetle caravan
A Volkswagon bug turned into a camper, San Diego, CA Two of the most nostalgic icons of the roads were merged together by a Californian. Looking like a caravan crashed into a VW bug, this a genius example of a concept car that should have still remained in the idea phase.
5. Veah electric car/bicycle
Is this a car? Is this a bicycle? Who knows. Belgian Xavier Van der Stappen driving his ‘Veah’ electric car/bicycle in the Paris-Dakar No Oil race in 2009, a 6,000 km trip from Brussels to Dakar without using any gasoline, in his extraordinary creation.

7. The furry Citroen 2CV
The 2CV with the addition of fur and felt looks like a mouse. No body expected such miracle of an over 50 years old car. It’s eye catching in the modern times while the original design was old-fashioned even in its era.
8. Trabi-Treffen Trabant

10. The 1934 Lincoln

11. 1962 Peel P50
This one is among the tiniest weird creatures in the history of car design and held the Guinness Record for the world’s smallest car for over 50 years. It’s a one-seater, three-wheeled microcar manufactured in 1962. The P50 is 54 inches long and just 41 inches wide.
12. Limo-Plane
Look again, it’s not an airplane, not also a normal limousine, nothing is normal here. In 2004, a plane was turned into a luxury limousine.

A totally impractical vehicle, interesting for tourists who could rent it out for $1,000 for three hours in Guadalajara, the state of Jalisco in Mexico.

15. The Batmen’s car, called, “Batlimo”
If you’re a Batman franchise fan, you’ve probably tried saying “I’m Batman” in the distinctive Batman-like voice at some point. But you know what would be even more impressive? If you ride this car too. Today, Barris’ name has become synonymous with the California car culture of the 20th century. yes…, George Barris, who was designer the original Batmobile and other iconic cars for some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
16. A Future car
Concept Car, Pininfarina Ferrari 512 S Modulo, 1970, Ivrea, Italy is a concept car designed by Paolo Martin that was unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor show.
