It s also supposedly street legal, but we wouldn t want to be in it during a rollover.
2. Colim the detachable caravan
Colim, a?new vehicle?designed by Christian Susana, is a great blend of a car and a caravan camper. The front part of this unique looking automobile can be detached, if you are not going camping with your family, and used as a two seater car. Colim might not be the best looking vehicle, but it is quite useful given the flexibility it offers.
3. Worlds Longest Limousine

The company Mattrack can apparently do this to any kind of 4?4 vehicle ? from ATVs to 20 ton trucks. The short belts allow the Mattrack Truck to drive almost anywhere unless the snow gets too deep. If the snow gets to deep, longer belts are required (like on the Piston Bully). The short belts also make Mattrack Truck able to cross small creavasses, while larger creavasses require longer belts.

The Peugeot Capsule is a one person, off road,?electric vehicle?inspired by the KLR 650 motorcycle. Complete with integrated GPS, LCD screens that double as rear view?mirrors, full time internet connectivity (for jungle porn of course) and comes with enough?luggage?space to make a weekend of it.?Master Chief?not included.?",9.jpg,Worlds Strangest Vehicles 4110,Eclectic ?world s first energy autonomous vehicle,Claiming its creation in the world s first energy autonomous vehicle, Venturi equipped this nerdy car, called Eclectic with a solar panel and a wind turbine so it can get power from the elements. It also has a plug for recharging from an outlet, as the panel and turbine combined give you only something like 14 miles a day. But electric power still beats gas. You are able to buy an Eclectic for about $31,500, according to a Venturi press release.
