8. Nissan Pivo

Leave it to Japan to create something as weird as it is cool. The Nissan Pivo is a tiny transportation pod that debuted at the 2005 Tokyo auto show. The name Pivo comes from the word “pivot,” and the vehicle was named after the passenger compartment’s ability to spin around 360 degrees. This means you never have to put the vehicle in reverse, instead you can just spin the compartment around and then drive forward in the other direction. The Pivo is also an electric vehicle, something else the Japanese are fond of due to their crowded roads. The vehicle also featured sliding doors, staggered one-plus-two seating, and four-wheel steering. The Pivo was so well received that Nissan made two more versions of it, the Pivo 2 in 2007 and the Pivo 3 in 2011.
