World's ugliest supercar?

Honest to god, in person that sonofabitch is so hideous, it's jaw-dropping. First of all, it's bigger than an Avalanche. No really. Then there's the front end. If it was made out of plasticine and left in the sun so that half its face melted off... that might explain it. There's literally big slices out of the front end of the berkeleyer where you can see bone structure underneath... like one of those krocodile drug victims with tissue necrosis.

I for one have just seen a whole bunch of cars that I didn.t know existed, so thanks for that.

In my opinion they are all bland and ugly. They stopped being attractive sometime after the Muira and the AM Vantage.

retches Dammit, I just ate! Where's that brain bleach?

Crap, that's not it!

Or that!

This used to be a Delorean.....

You can thank one of the guys from the Black Eyed Peas for this one.

And then he spent $900,000 making this out of a 58 beetle.

Looks like he still has the guide coat on it...

Whats more annoying is that it seems like a lot of companies are hiring failed 80s anime animators to design their car like they seemingly did this.

I've only seen the rear quarter shot and the side.

It's even worse from the front! my eyes!!

This thread is for ugly cars not the coolest looking super cars ever.

So, wait… This thing is larger than a full-size SUV, has all-terrain tires for some unknown reason, looks like it barely fits 4-people, is fugly from every direction, and is stupid-expensive? Please tell me it has a whale-penis leather interior so at least there's something good about it!

Wait, is that a full sized human being or is the LA Auto Show using child labor? If that guy is an adult and didn't sing "Follow the yellow brick road" on screen at some time during his life, that thing is about twice the size I thought it was. That doesn't make it better, BTW.

It looks like the dropped a Sebring on an F350 chassis and then kept adding spray foam until the body reached the wheels. They should have started at the front because when they ran out of foam the back wheels would be uncovered, which is much cooler and it could spray sand I the people laughing at it.

I'm having trouble here. I wanted to ask would you rather drive that puma or...., but I couldn't come up with a 2nd car for that equation. I tried finding something old, gutless, hideous, and so on, like a mustang II, but then I remembered what board this was and that somebody probably has an awesome 11 second mustang II that only cost $1,800. So, would you rather be forced to drive the Puma, and only the puma, for the rest of your life, or a 1994 corolla, auto, base model, in tan?

Puma is far too large for a lot of driving, makes you look like a complete idiot with a macho complex, it's unbelievably tasteless, but at least it has a big engine. The corolla will attract no attention, you won't look like a total douchbag, and it won't be exciting to drive.

You can't modify either car, must stay 100% factory spec. You can't sell it and buy something better, either.

I have always wondered how Porsche could go from a relatively good looking car like the 944: To a half-melted, bloated facsimile whose only styling uniqueness is they have headlights with all the maintenance of retractables, and none of the styling benefit: If you guys are going to call Diablos ugly, I'm sure going to point out properly ugly ones .

You are aware, of course, that the 928 preceded the 944 by four years.

What Porsche does need to apologize for (in the pre-Panamera era) was the unholy union of the two.

I saw this thread and had to register just to post my reaction. I had the unfortunate "pleasure" of seeing this thing in person. The scale of this beast is truly unbelievable. It's MASSIVE. I mean this is the LA auto show where you have the Mercedes Van-Bus things all over demonstrating aftermarket audio-visual equipment and those things are huge, but this thing made me feel tiny and insignificant, like it was built with absolutely no sense of true human scale. The color is offensive, the size is offensive, the body shapes are offensive, the whole package is just disgusting.

In fact, this thing is more offensive than mating a luxury Hummer with 30 inch spinners with a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. At least that union would have some sort of defined body lines and not look like an infected botox pustule.

I'll never be able to forget this abomination.

Already been done

I see the words you typed, and i know what each one means individually, but these "sentences" just seem like a jumble of randomness.....there's clearly no coherent meaning behind them.

Welcome, you're going to fit in just fine here.

We have a 1996 tan auto Corolla that my step-son drives. I'd much rather drive it. It's a nice comfortable car, reliable as a hammer even with over a quarter-million miles on it(honestly, it's more reliable than a couple of my hammers with loose heads…I should really fix those), and good luck finding anything cheaper to buy/own/operate.

No, it's not exact "fun", but I fail to see how the Puma would be either, outside of aggravating innocent bystanders.

I am, though I think even the 924 is better proportioned, and I believe that was the predecessor of the bunch.

uh, the 944 is just an updated 924 with flares and a bigger motor.

It was also a VW project before they gave up and sold it to Porsche, who were already working on the 928. At the time, Porsche wanted to replace the 911 with the 928 and the 912 needed a replacement, so the 924 fit that gap nicely.

Eventually the naysayers won and the 928, 924 and 944 were sold along side the updated 911 after the CEO that came up with the idea of dropping the 911 was drop-kicked out.

In reply to turboswede:

Thanks for the history lesson, had one, got the tshirt. 928 is still an ugly bloated pig :) .

What's worse is that some obviously delusional people had some manner of praise for that unholy abomination... it's like something a six-year old would create with a bunch of random leftover Legos...
