Here&#8217;s to the Sh*t Cars that Help Us Appreciate the Great Ones<\/h1>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/\">Supercars.net<\/a>, we love touting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/supercar-lists\/best-supercars\/\">very best cars<\/a> on the planet to our audience. But that doesn\u2019t mean we are above handing out a bit of jest once in a while. It is this very list that gives us the opportunity to do just that, as we present to you our compilation of the \u201c30 Worst Cars Ever Made\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While our focus will definitely stay on supercars (or those aspiring to be), we will also give honorable mention to some other vehicles that we believe deserve a mention. That being said, not all the cars on this list actually ended up being junkers &#8211; in fact quite a few were an objectively decent end product. However, all of them would still end up falling well short of the hype and expectations leading up to their release.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, some of these cars have even ended up being collectors\u2019 items today; more for the novelty than anything else, though. If there are traits that are most consistent amongst this selection of cars, it is their severe deficiency in reliability, build quality and driveability. Many of the cars were also subjected to their fates because the companies producing them ran into financial troubles, or were poorly managed projects.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the occasional bit of controversy &#8211; depending on where your loyalties lie &#8211; we hope you enjoy this reading!

Essentially a kit car, the Orochi &#8211; whose name is derived from a legendary eight-headed dragon &#8211; was inspired by the great Honda NSX, which itself was renown for taking it to the Italian marque in the early 90s.\u00a0While its bodywork is certainly eccentric, to put it mildly, the Orochi is a mish-mash of Honda and Lexus parts under all that stuff happening on the surface. This actually translates to a car that is remarkably reliable, and with the solid build quality that is encapsulated in its DNA.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is where the Orochi truly fails to deliver, particularly on its promise to take the game to Ferrari. The Lexus 3.3L V6 power plant outputs just 231 hp, and is said to take a very pedestrian 7.0 seconds to sprint from 0-60 mph. Hardly the hallmark of anything near the level of a Ferrari.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1986-hoffstetter-turbo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361615\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo.jpeg\" alt=\"1986 Hoffstetter Turbo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-100x67.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-770x513.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-1155x770.jpeg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-370x247.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Hoffstetter-Turbo-293x195.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">4. 1986 Hoffstetter Turbo<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> ~$30,000 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 2.0L turbocharged I4 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 210 hp<\/p>\n<p>The Hofstetter Turbo is the epitome of what a kit car is, and why they are made. Creator and namesake, Mario Hofstetter built the car as his countermeasure to the strict government restrictions on vehicle imports put in place in his native Brazil. Clearly, he felt that there was a faux-exotic car market that needed to be satiated in spite of this.<\/p>\n<p>Adorned with a typically-kit-car fiberglass body and gull-wing doors, the Turbo was also powered by a characteristically underwhelming engine. Later models came with a 2.0L inline-4 engine from a Volkswagen Santana which produced 210 hp, allowing it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just under 9 seconds. Earlier models used a 140 hp engine from a Volkswagen Passat.\u00a0In the end, only 18 cars were sold throughout its production run which lasted from 1986 to 1991.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1977-panther-6\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361614\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6.jpg\" alt=\"1977 Panther 6\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1977-Panther-6-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">5. 1977 Panther 6<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> $52,000 \/ <strong>Engine:\u00a0<\/strong>8.2L twin-turbocharged V8 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 600 hp<\/p>\n<p>Ha! Just when you thought that you\u2019d seen it all when it came to six-wheelers (see Covini C6W above), think again. The British-born Panther 6 is an earlier (and therefore more original) take on the more-is-more school of thought, and was believed to be a sign of future things to come at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly the idea of driving a car with 4 wheels over the front axle didn\u2019t really end up picking up steam, despite the Panther 6 &#8211; having been equipped with a formidable 8.2L twin-turbocharged Cadillac V8 which produced over 600 hp &#8211; putting in a good word for it.\u00a0Only two were ever made, further underlining the ultimate failure of both the car and its message having any resonance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1991-mtx-tatra\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361613\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-MTX-Tatra.jpeg\" alt=\"1991 MTX Tatra\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2492\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">6. 1991 MTX Tatra<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> ~$100,000 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 3.9L naturally aspirated V8 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 302 hp<\/p>\n<p>The Czechs are certainly famous for a few things, but producing sports cars probably isn\u2019t one of them. The fastest Czech automobile at the time, the car was a collaboration of two companies &#8211; which are also its namesakes, MTX and Tatra &#8211; and was imagined by automotive designer Vaclav Kral. The MTX Tatra is powered by a mightily respectable air-cooled 3.9L V8 engine, which sent 302 hp to the rear wheels. By all accounts it had some things going for it.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the end only four of an originally projected 200+ units were ever produced, likely spurred on by the fact that the production facility burned down in an unfortunate fire. Aside from having a cameo in a Kanye West video, the MTX Tatra has failed to live up to any of the fanfare or reception it once generated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1991-cizeta-moroder-v16t\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361612\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T.jpg\" alt=\"1991 Cizeta-Moroder V16T\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1991-Cizeta-Moroder-V16T-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">7. 1991 Cizeta-Moroder V16T<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> ~$300,000 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 6.0L naturally aspirated V16 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 560 hp<\/p>\n<p>Automotive boutique Cizeta, was the brainchild of ex-Ferrari man Claudio Zampolli and his music-producer friend, Giorgio Moroder. Soon after the company\u2019s founding, ex-Lamborghini designer Marcello Gandini was brought on board to help imagine the Moroder V-16T from paper to sheet metal.<\/p>\n<p>You can clearly see the mesh of design elements from both Lamborghini and Ferrari, with certain styling cues quite clearly derived from the Diablo and Testarossa in particular. Yet another casualty of business failings, the car would only see a production run of 19 examples before the company went bankrupt.<\/p>\n<p>While it came with an objectively impressive 6.0L V16 engine which produced over 560 hp at a wailing 8,000 rpm, one of the biggest downfalls of the car was that it cost substantially more than the Diablo it looked to both take on and imitate simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1978-bmw-m1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361620\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-361620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1.jpg\" alt=\"1978 BMW M1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1978-BMW-M1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">8. 1978 BMW M1<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> $60,000 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 \/<strong> Power:<\/strong> 273 hp<\/p>\n<p>First off, it should be stated that we have the M1 to thank for beginning a long line of M cars which have come to define, and propagate BMW sports car performance globally. BMW would have to eventually chalk this up as a learning opportunity, as the M1 was ultimately a flop for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Starting off as a collaboration between BMW and Lamborghini, the car had lofty ambitions right off the bat as well; to dominate all the racing series\u2019 it was envisioned to compete in. This particular plan never came to fruition as Lamborghini &#8211; tasked with building the cars &#8211; ended up filing for bankruptcy before production ramped up.<\/p>\n<p>BMW managed to scrape together some new partners to get a production version on the road, but only 455 units were ever built before production was axed for good; its asking price of 100,000 DM had a lot to do with that. Some of those units were even built for competition, but none of them ever saw any noteworthy success on the circuit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1985-mosler-consulier-gtp\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361611\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1985-Mosler-Consulier-GTP.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Mosler Consulier GTP\" width=\"5257\" height=\"2774\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">9. 1985 Mosler Consulier GTP<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> $49,900 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 2.2L turbocharged I4 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 190 hp<\/p>\n<p>The Mosler Consulier GTP has a really catchy silhouette, which is the byproduct of its lightweight design inspired by the abundance of carbon fibre and kevlar.

Since the car weighed just under 1,000 kg however, it was still able to clock a 0-60 mph time of about 5 seconds. At the very least, the car has a very original design which has allowed it to surge in popularity amongst collectors in correlation to its rarity and low production numbers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/1986-venturi-atlantique\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361610\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-361610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique.png\" alt=\"1986 Venturi Atlantique\" width=\"988\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique.png 988w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique-100x55.png 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique-770x421.png 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1986-Venturi-Atlantique-293x160.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">10. 1986 Venturi Atlantique<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Base price:<\/strong> ~$70,000 \/ <strong>Engine:<\/strong> 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 \/ <strong>Power:<\/strong> 307 hp<\/p>\n<p>The French supercar you probably never heard about, the Venturi Atlantique is the product of another boutique supercar start-up.

One positive feature of the car, is that it was the first production model of any kind to come with independent MacPherson struts with coil springs and telescopic dampers, on all four corners.

The Testarossa has climbed the charts on collectors\u2019 playlists, as the charm of the Testarossa becomes omnipresent in this current technologically-biased age.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Testarossa was not particularly quick by its own, or even the industry\u2019s standards at the time, clocking 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. Its wide track gave it a large footprint which turned off many people who still abided by 1980s vehicle sizing charts, and felt that this made it cumbersome to live with.<\/p>\n<p>Absurd and inevitable maintenance\/repair costs made owning the Testarossa a huge burden to even the most financially-blessed owners, ultimately stifling its overall appeal. This made many Testarossa owners revert to storing their cars, as opposed to driving them.<\/p>\n<p>Good for keeping the miles low, but not so good for other reasons such as deteriorating seals and hoses &#8211; bad news if the car was ever to be driven again, for the reasons aforementioned above.

The complicated family matters meant that the project to build the M12 was often mismanaged or backlogged due to ongoing legal disputes.<\/p>\n<p>It started off using a Lamborghini Diablo V12 engine which made the M12 expensive to produce. This eventually led to Vector Motors brainstorming the idea of the M12 using a General Motors LT1 V8 instead, to cut costs while rebranding it with a new name &#8211; the SRV8. In a twist of fate, the company shut its doors just days after unveiling the one example of the SRV8 it had produced.<\/p>\n<p>On the technical side of things, the Vector M12 was inevitably the product of its flawed upbringing.

But customers would be in for a big surprise when they discovered that what eventually showed up at their door, was not the bombshell they were promised.<\/p>\n<p>During production, the engineering team decided that the V12 was too large and heavy for the car, switching to a more pragmatic V6 unit, unbeknownst at the time to their swooning buyers.

It&#8217;s based on a Mercedes-Benz S class, and is by almost all accounts, better in every way and a car of its own making &#8211; one that also decided it would cost close to $400,000 brand new.<\/p>\n<p>More than a decade on, the Maybach has lost around 75% of its value and can easily be had on the used market for well under $100,000. When you consider the posh existences these vehicles have likely had, living vicariously through their owners (the first one, at least), you\u2019d probably be getting a pretty darn solid car for the money &#8211; regardless of whether you needed all the swank that came along with it.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, the Maybach was always going to be subject to its S-Class underpinnings and was bold enough to not bother hiding it in certain cases. For example, the two cars share the exact same steering wheel, turn signal stalk, gauge cluster and most of the buttons and switches. It was hard to justify the almost $270,000 premium over its lesser version, and the used marketplace has definitely echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/2003-citroen-c3-pluriel\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361621\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel.png\" alt=\"2003 Citroen C3 Pluriel\" width=\"1090\" height=\"736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel.png 1090w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel-100x68.png 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel-770x520.png 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2003-Citroen-C3-Pluriel-293x198.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1090px) 100vw, 1090px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">28. 2003 Citroen C3 Pluriel<\/h3>\n<p>The little C3 Pluriel is arguably one of the most poorly assembled cars on this list, which is shocking when you consider that Citroen is an actual automotive company that has been around for more than 100 years now and should quite frankly, do better.<\/p>\n<p>Eager to jump on the \u201cbudget family convertible\u201d fad of the early 2000s (still a head-scratcher for me), the French automaker produced the C3 Pluriel.

Nevertheless, they make for good buys on the used market these days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/the-30-worst-cars-ever-made-the-absolutely-horrible-ones\/2001-pontiac-aztec-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-361591\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-361591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1.jpg\" alt=\"2001 Pontiac Aztec\" width=\"1468\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1.jpg 1468w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-770x432.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-293x164.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2001-Pontiac-Aztec-1-1400x786.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1468px) 100vw, 1468px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">30. 2001 Pontiac Aztec<\/h3>\n<p>Ah yes, we\u2019ve made it to \u201clast but not least\u201d territory.
