10 Cars So Weird They're Wonderful

1. Honda Z Coupe

Price range: $6000–$15000*
Produced between 1970 and 1974
When the Honda Z Coupe was first released in the early 1970s, it was a true standout in the market for small cars. It shared a similar design with the Mini Cooper, but unlike most automobiles of the era, it had the engine located at the back. Another feature that set the Z Coupe apart was its air-cooled two-cylinder engine, which offered a new driving experience and demonstrated Honda's creative approach to auto production.
