The Worst Car In The World

A few years ago, I showed you how easy it is to roll a Reliant Robin, the car with three wheels. Imagine that car built backwards in someone’s garage.

The Hoffmann was made in Germany right after the war by one M. Hoffmann, a man no one seems to know much about. I’m not entirely sold on the idea he was a human at all, actually. Whatever he was, he had real skill — the car is actually beautifully built, with lots of difficult metalwork and fabrication evident throughout.

The good news about the Hoffman is that there was only one built. Read more about the Hoffman here. Video contains NSFW language. (via Viral Viral Videos)
