All people in everyday life are accustomed to using various modes of transportation: rollers, bicycles, buses, cars, yachts, motorcycles and many others. With the development of technology, vehicles have changed a huge number of times. In the modern world, creative designers and just ordinary people are all the time trying to create the most unusual vehicles.
Suffice it to recall the recently appeared gyro scooters and segways, but now they are commonplace. It is difficult to determine which transport is the most creative. In order to simplify this task, we present a list of the most unusual vehicles in the world.
Limousine VAZ-2101
Cuba is a country where socialism and communism still flourish. Since the time of Che Guevara, the republic has accumulated equipment used in the USSR. The taxi driver decided to modify the Soviet VAZ 2101 into a limousine.
Now a luxury economy car is driving around the streets of Havana. The man cut off the trunk of a penny and welded in its place the second half of the car of the same brand.
Wilman Motorcycle Skateboard
It was rather unusual to combine a motorcycle and a skateboard into one transport from American inventors. Wilman is able to reach speeds of 40 kilometers per hour, but its management requires serious preparation.
In order to learn how to operate a motorcycle skateboard, you need to have a good sense of balance. It is driven by a gasoline engine that can travel about 30 kilometers in one trip. This pleasure costs an average of 60,000 rubles.
Built bus
Most recently, the MAZ 216 bus came out using one section of the well-known "accordion", but it was overtaken by a Brazilian representative with two sections. The miracle of technology can be found in the city of Curitiba.
It was recognized as the largest bus in the world. The transport capacity is over 100 people. It is mainly used to transport travelers on tourist routes.
Jetpack
Everyone who has ever heard of the game GTA San Andreas is familiar with a very convenient means of transportation - a jetpack. Nowadays, fiction has become reality. Martin Aircraft's inventors unveiled the first prototype of the Jetpack in 2008.
Now its cost is $ 100,000. However, until now, for 10 years, the project has not entered mass production. The jetpack is still undergoing field trials and contains a parachute in case of a life-threatening situation.
"Diamond" Mercedes-Benz
In Japan, at the Tokyo Motor Show, special models of Mercedes-Benz cars covered with semi-precious stones were presented. Their cost is kept secret, but according to some sources, the cost of all stones exceeds $ 25,000.
The machines were made according to the special requirements of an unknown customer. The "diamond" Mercedes-Benz was last seen in the UK. According to eyewitnesses, a young girl was driving.
Surfboard with motor
Not everyone can afford to go to the ocean coast to go surfing.A prerequisite for riding a board on water is the presence of large waves, which are found only in natural conditions.
However, American inventors managed to create a surfboard with a motor. Now the natural factor is no longer necessary. Anyone can ride on the water without leaving their country.
Flying car
Another representative of the most unusual means of transportation is the Terrafugia Transition flying car. Humanity has long dreamed of creating such a machine, since the movie "Back to the Future".
In 2019, Terrafugia Transition is going to be released into mass production, its cost will be about $ 300,000. A flying car is capable of speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour on the highway, and up to 200 kilometers per hour through the air.
Its design is very similar to a sports plane. The wings attached to the sides can fold 3 times. Of course, he is still far from the usual fantasies about flying cars, but the creation process has already started.
Cardboard bike
An Israeli designer invented the most extraordinary means of transportation made of cardboard. His bike was only $ 9. In the near future, the man plans to acquire his own production.
However, cardboard has some disadvantages - low strength and moisture resistance. Yitzhar Gafni managed to solve this problem by adding stiffeners to the structure and impregnating the material with a special resin.
The bike does an excellent job with its functions no worse than the iron we are used to, it is also the cheapest in the world. If you try hard, anyone can make it with their own hands.
Wooden motorcycle
Dutch inventors managed to create a motorcycle made entirely of wood. The only metal parts in it are the wheels and the engine. The body is made entirely of birch, held together with ordinary glue.
Moreover, the motorcycle is powered by algae fuel. It is environmentally friendly and can be used as an alternative to gasoline in the future. However, for some unknown reason, their innovation did not attract investors.
The motorcycle itself is capable of speeds of only 50 kilometers per hour. At the moment the project needs technological improvement and additional funding. But for some reason, it is hard to believe that the oil tycoons will just lose their earnings like that.
6 wheel off-road vehicle
In a limited edition of 100 pieces, the German company Mercedes-Benz has released an unusual SUV with a 6x6 wheel arrangement, the AMG G63 6x6 Gelendvagen. Their real purpose is still unknown.
The car interior is no different from the representatives of the business class. The cross-country ability of a jeep is equal to that of a truck. The body of the AMG G63 is equipped at the rear with an onboard platform 1.2 meters long.
The SUV's engine power was 544 horsepower. For comparison, for example, in KamAZ, engines with a capacity of 300 horsepower are usually installed, and after all, a Mercedes is much lighter than all-wheel drive trucks.
Now you know the most unusual means of transportation, but there are still so many interesting things in the world. For example, there is a list of the most unusual sports games in the world that will pleasantly surprise the reader.
