The World’s Worst Concept Cars: Landscape Pocket Guides

Successful cars that become classic designs seem such good ideas, but what about the cars that never move into production? What about the cars the designers thought were ground-breaking but in fact just risked breaking the company? The cars that when they did reach a motor fair, the public just wondered, “What on earth were the manufacturers thinking?” The World’s Worst Concept Cars celebrates 150 of these motoring mistakes – old and new – and examines their history and prominent features.

Featuring cars that many people love (and love to hate), The World’s Worst Concept Cars provides a lively analysis of some classic duds, such as the International Automotive Design’s Alien, the Rinspeed X-Dream, the Zagato Raptor, the Italdesign Aztec as well as designs from major manufacturers who should have known better, such as Ford’s Indigo and the Jaguar F-Type. Just how wrong could these manufacturers get it?

Each car is illustrated with full-colour studio photography, annotated to show particularly bad, dangerous or ugly features. Informed and accessible text, written by an acknowledged motoring expert, brings each car and its history to life.
