>Norway probably has the worst car history of all time
come at me, Luxembourg never even made cars

New Zealand made the trekka. All the panels were hand formed and it was 2wd with Skoda oktavia drivetrain from (then communist) Czechoslovakia

Not making cars is better than this electroshitbox.

It was successful because import trade restrictions at the time required you to own overseas assets if you wanted to purchase an overseas assembled car. For example if you wanted to buy a nee $5k car from Australia you had to own atleast $5k worth of property/stocks/whatever in Australia. Because the trekka was locally built they didn't have this requirement, so just anybody could go out and buy one.

I had to dig deep for this one (fifth google result).

It's a Muntz Jet, by the way.

...

there are hundreds of old cars no one knows

I feel like Egypt and Iran win.

rameses ii

That's the coolest shit.

This car is so cool. Too bad its very rare or else i might have bought a used one.

Gilbern

Greece made a lot of weird cars in the past, and apparently they are trying to make a sports car/4x4 hybrid.

...

I just gave it a shoop and think if they did it this way, it would have been an OK seller.

They were pretty close.

The ultimate shitbox

30hp from a 2 cylinder boxer

Looks kinda cute tho

Holy tits that's holy fuck

>people unironically like this gaudy hipster bullshit

wew

this looks a cute

They couldnt have sold any of them anyway. Because in the 50's norway was in a union with the soviet and they had restriction on how much we could sell to other countries. And because our goverment wanted to sell fish instead of cars the makers of this car werent allowed to sell anything. They could have kept selling them in norway but the backers of the company didnt want to give them anymore money after they heard about the restrictions. So they only produced 5 cars in total and noone of them were sold. Nice shop btw it actually looks very cool now.

Thank you and a shame you didn't get to have an actual car industry...

Yugo Florida

What is that? It looks like a cross between an MG metro and an 80s Hyundai

Beasts. Would DD.

It looks pretty nice this way user, good work

yfw a Fiat Tipo

zastava will on day return, stronger than ever before

Tfw Mercedes A-series

Curious on what Veeky Forums thinks of Portugal's UMM Alter

more details please.
Engine? Gearbox? Transfer? Diffs?
I can see it's leaf all round, which ain't a bad thing.

Holden HJ with a Rotary Engine built exclusively for the Japanese market.

I don't know what the fuck they were thinking.

Engine and gearbox were Peugeot-sourced, mostly the diesel 2.5. Yes to transfer, lockable 4x4, but diffs on each axle only though, no central diff.

You know. I'm kinda happy they do this vs paying denbts to Germany.
At least it doesn't go to rapist niggers.

Giocattolo

Socialism's kei truck :DDD

Trippel SG6, the swimming shoe. Initially a competitor to the Schwimmwagen, but after a few hundred units the manufacturer was put in charge of the Nazi confiscated Bugatti factory and told to build Schwimmwagen instead. He also developed a few other prototypes before and after, but embarrassingly most of them sank.

>Elcat began working in 1974 to design electric cars for Nordic climate. The first prototypes for Elcat's automotive industry were made in 1985 with a joint venture plan with Subaru's Sambar, Dias, and Domingo vans, while the first commercial product was released in 1990. Production ceased in 2002 when Subaru dropped the van models and Elcat lacked the resources to design the systems of a new model. To date more than 160 cars have been made. Main users were Finnish post office (Posti) and Stockholm-based delivery service. Now almost all cars are in second-hand use.

how can Tesla even compete?

The only production car made in Austria in the last ~70 years is the KTM X-bow, which is barely even a car and more of a tracktoy.

...

Average people in Greece own twice as much property as average Germans.
It's the Greek government that owes money to German banks. So the "Greece "bailout"" is nothing but German taxpayers paying money directly to German banks, while Greek taxpayers are getting shafted with austerity policies and Greek banks are unaffected.

that looks sick tbf

I never understood the need to build huge cars around the tiny rotary. Sure the rotary has a lot of HP, but it has little torque, which is necessary for heavier cars. The fucking RX-7 is bigger than the Miata. Why haven't they made a small car with a rotary? The closest to that concept was the AMC Pacer, which was initially designed for a rotary, but it was still a large vehicle.

Most of the cars Mazda put triangles in were much smaller than the Pacer

>Greek taxpayers
good one

Pacer was still an oversized car. The fact that the RX8 came to be when their engineers decided to throw a rotary in a Miata should tell you the wankel was really meant for tiny cars. Something along the size of the VW Golf or Jetta, not much bigger.

>Speaking of doritos

I wish the car industry wasn't dying in my country, shit sucks.

The Alma Cabrio from Hungary, it's the cutest shit ever.

Brickin SV-1

Real piece of shit car. All doors including the hood were electric so when the battery died you had to cut a hole in the hood to get to it. I've seen a couple in New Brunswick still on the roads.

Haha who thought that an electric hood was a good idea?

Anadol from Turkey 1/3

2/3

3/3

It is still in production today, made by Wallyscar.
It has a Peugeot1.6 engine and power is delivered to the front wheels.
