Just watching french TV car show "Turbo" over breakfast presenting a french car maker i have never heard about: Lazareth.

They have some pretty funny cars, amphibous Minimoke:

 

 

 

The girls being shown on every picture, i assume they are in good old french tradtion part of the standard equipment.

 

Not sure what this actually is, V8 powered Isetta recreation?

 

 

Utter madness a, 4WD V8 bike

 

 

 

Next stop, hot rod V12 Hybrid, very nice.

 

 

 

I always thought building small runs of crazy vehicles is something very British. Attention guys, the frogs are about to beat you at this art!

Kia Niro anyone? No?

 

 

Is that the Cacktosh that Kia builds?

Why did they use my old school bag as a front bumper?

[Jerzy Woking]

Saw this in the local Tesco car park last week

 

Fisker Karma. Weirder looking in the flesh than in the photos.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Love the even panel gaps and that it looks like the covers missing from the filler cap.

 

Its got hugh wheels!

When I first saw this I thought it was some sort of VW-badged 80s Audi coupe. It's actually a Passat coupe, a Pissocco or something like that.

Looks good anyway

[JeeExEll]

I genuinely don't know what this is. Yes I is stupid. Pic was saved on my tablet.

A rare secret top of the range Peugeot?

Tagora facelift by Heuliez to replace both Tag and 604, as we all know, it never happened.

You could have a lot of fun in one of them. ATCNBE

There was another Tagora project that got forgotten, and that was a good thing.

Tagora JS300 by Ligier. PRV at 200HP, automatic,recaro seats, so far so good, but look at the all around uglyness..

 

 

 

 

 

 

[JeeExEll]

^^ That's really interesting and I like Tagoras, hadn't seen those before and thought the whole Tagora story ended when they didn't sell very well.

I'd love to have a job like that car-drawer bloke, imagine being paid to do that, you could really take le piss and design all sorts of shite.

Note interior mod 6 on that Tagora above is a storage space for your Walkman. Handy. Fuck knows what mod 5 is.

The wonder is that someone actually paid good money to have it shipped over here. Although it looks like something out of science fiction, as an all-electric car it was somewhat outperformed by the Tesla S, and never made in RHD. Anyhow, the owner is clearly rich enough to acquire something he knows nobody else here has (or would want to have).

 

Fisker probably had better ideas back when they were designing their own bodies on BMW E63 or Merc SLK mechanicals. The problem was that few wanted to buy them.

They had 5-door versions of this in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's time. Plenty used as taxis back then.

Saw one of the (not) Mercedes X-class thingies today

Isn't it just a 2 door Passat? We got the first ones over here, the Septics called them Dashers and the post 81 shape( 5 cylinder ones) were called Quantums.

Its all listed on the text page. 5 on the interior drawing is a "personalised" remote door lock control  "coupled with seat and mirror adjustment". 5 on the outside drawing "engine hot air extractors"... oooh that PRV must be a real hot one!

A Citroen C-Elesee, spotted today, never seen one before, and will be quite happy to never see one again.

Is this the first ever (and roughest) production direct injection diesel?

Someone agrees with you....

[cros]

Fiat Viaggio, ex Dodge Dart which was a Fiat anyway. Don't know why they bother really.

[17-Coffees]

Ever wanted a knockoff Jeep Wrangler? Ever wanted a Knockoff Mercedes G-Wagen interior? Want the finest of Chinese mass produced build quality? Well I have JUST the thing for you...

 

 

The Beijing Auto BJ40L is just the thing for you! 

[Tayne]

Only if it has a knock off XUD under the bonnet.

Blimey, dragging 2 tonnes of checker cab around with 60 hp can't have been much fun; no wonder they didn't sell many.

This hire company likes them so much they're using them on their Facebook adverts.

Thanks to the shite picture thread, I now have a hat-trick plethora of previously unknown Ladas;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Skoda and Dacia can be re-invented, is there a possibility of seeing new Ladas on Britain's roads?

[Supernaut]

A Lada 2170 for me, please.

 

At first glance it reminded me of a Ford Scorpio.

[bunglebus]

That's a Priora apparently

 

 

Look at those arches!
