8. Mazda Nagare Concept Car

The Mazda Nagare Concept Car was first introduced to the public at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show. The auto definitely ranks as one of the strangest vehicles produced as it was part of an exercise in organic and natural car design to help guide the future of Mazda auto design. The Japanese translation of the auto name means “flow,” and the company design engineers used the vehicle to study the effect that motion had on the natural surroundings while creating the auto. The primary designer of the auto was Laurens van den Acker, and the Mazda Advanced Design Team who were located in Irving, California. The car is distinguishable by its extremely large windshield that sits at an extremely steep angle connecting to the top of the auto. The wheels of the car are extremely large and are wrapped into the wheel wells of the vehicle. This helps incorporate them as part of the car body, and are another one of the design features making the Nagare one of the oddest cars that you will ever see.
