The Smart Fortwo Was Too Hot To Handle
In bustling cities where parking is scarce, Smart Cars have gained immense popularity. Their compact size allows them to squeeze into the tightest spaces, and their impressive fuel efficiency makes them a practical choice for urban driving. However, comfort isn’t their strong suit. Take the Smart Fortwo, for example: with its engine positioned in the rear and the cooling system in the front, hot summer days can feel unbearable for passengers. This persistent heating and cooling issue proved to be a significant drawback for casual buyers, ultimately leading to a steep decline in sales and bringing the brand dangerously close to bankruptcy.

The Peel Trident Speaks For Itself
The Peel Trident is a vehicle that defies convention. Debuting in 1964 at the British Motorcycle Show, it was designed as an “occasional two-seater,” a quirky option for drivers seeking something unique. However, by 1966, the Peel Engineering Company ceased production of this unusual little car. Though its run was short-lived, the Trident’s legend endures. Its mystique even caught the attention of Jesse James on Monster Garage. He attempted to modify the Trident by outfitting it with a motorcycle engine and a new frame. Unfortunately, the experiment ended in failure, culminating in James destroying the car on live television, turning the Trident into a symbol of both innovation and spectacle.
