Not every sports car looks like a dream, even if they do drive like one. This may sound like a big and sweeping statement, but you just have to run your eyes at the list of the ten sports cars below to know what we mean. There would be few people who don’t like the idea of a sports car, simply because these fast and small coupes are fun to drive on days the weather is ideal.

These sports cars may be amazingly fun to drive and boast superior technology, as well as steep pricing, but their looks and styling have gone way overboard. Of course, if you want a car that whizzes fast and makes people stop and stare mostly because they cannot believe that it was ever made, these are the sports cars to go for.

Which of these 10 poorly styled and designed sports cars catches your fancy? And why? Let’s find out as we delve into their backstories…

10 Ferrari Mondial 8: The Cheapest ‘Rari

via PostWarClassic

Honestly, it looks like an eraser from a child’s pencil box. Built as the most affordable Ferrari ever, the Mondial 8 may have given the not-so-rich a chance to own a Ferrari but it was still badly trounced for its looks. The styling was thought to be too blah, with the black-colored bumpers looking like an eyesore.

While some thought the Mondial 8 was underpowered as well, it was still a cool car to drive, jetting 214 horses and going 140mph, and being the most low-maintenance and practical Ferrari ever.

9 Lotus Europa: What's With The Back?

The Lotus Europa was a whole lot cheaper than the Corvette and produced from the mid-'60s to the ‘70s. Plus, it came mid-engined and was reasonable as well. With a top speed of over 155mph, this was a fun car to drive, only it looked very strange and unworldly.

Design-wise, the Lotus cars were light years ahead and made like the Lotus Elan with a minimalist boxed-steep backbone chassis with a fiberglass body on top. This made the car light and speed up on 1.5 and 1.6-liter engines but even so, the boxy behind did not make it a popular buy and production stopped with only 9230 of these made.

8 Lamborghini Egoista: Just, Why?

via Reddit

Lamborghini usually makes beautiful cars but with the Egoista it erred bad, so bad, and that too on a concept car so made to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary. We are sure it will drive beautiful because it based on the mid-engined Gallardo with a 5.2-liter V10 jetting 600 horses. The center-mounted cockpit is also removable.

But all that fades in front of a design that is so ugly, everyone instantly wants to unsee the car. While the Egoista is a car made for just one person, the ugly is seen by all.

7 Mosler Raptor: Caricatured Sports Car

via ClassicCars

If you ask a kid to draw a sports car, they would probably make something as “bubbly” as the Mosler Raptor. And yet, this badly designed excuse of a sportscar made it to production and stayed there for seven long years, even though the split windshield caused visibility issues and blocked air vents as well.

If you looked at the car from the side, it was boxy and did not resemble a sports car at all. But the Lingenfelter-modified 6.3-liter V8 jetted 440 horses and took this box up to 163mph.

6 Lancia Stratos: A Little Too Sharp

via Carscoops

Only 492 of these were built and for that, the world would always remain grateful to Lancia. It was, undoubtedly, one of the most successful rally cars ever, and dominated the ‘70s World Rally championships because of its incredibly aerodynamic body and shape, literally blade-like in its appeal.

via Motor1

And yet, see it on the road and you’d wonder what the car was all about and why was it made so “sharp” everywhere. This is one car that looks good only on race tracks and not something you want on the road.

5 Ferrari 400i: A Boxy Ferrari

via Hemmings

A boxy Ferrari and these two words inculcate why everyone so loved to hate the Ferrari 400i. Some 1,305 of these were built between 1979 and 1985, and if it seems familiar its because one of these was the hero car in the 1988 hit, Rain Man.

The V12 engine in it was a superior one and we are pretty sure that it makes for a great car to drive, only it just doesn’t look that cool enough. Probably why none of these cars made it to America in a normal way and only arrived via the grey market.

4 Lamborghini Veneno: Crazy & Expensive

via YouTube

The Lamborghini Veneno costs a crazy $4.5 million to boot, and for a time, it was the most expensive production car ever made. Mid-engined, it makes 740 astounding horses from a 6.5-liter V12 that also resided under the hood of an Aventador, and let the Veneno fly 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds with a speed limited to 220mph.

via Carscoops

That said, it’s an overpriced car designed to somehow appeal to people with sheer ugliness, much like Picasso’s cubism brought to life. Everyone likes modern art but no one wants it to come to life and whiz down a road, right?

3 Morgan Aero 8: The Cross-Eyed Retro

via Autocar

So, if you have a really bad hangover of the classics and have to have a car that reminds of the golden era of the early 1900s, the squint-eyed Morgan Aero 8 should be your poison when it comes to sportscars. Made from 2000 to 2018, the Aero 8 was made for people who loved the oldies.

via HexagonClassics

The 4.4-liter V8 engine borrowed from BMW made it a cool car to drive considering the 325 horses it generated, but that said, it was too much of a hark back to the past despite that lightweight body and chassis. Plus the headlights looked cross-eyed.

2 Triumph TR7: Sharp Enough To Cut?

via Motor1

What if you took a blade, and turned it into a car? The Triumph TR7 was a compact sports car that replaced the equally bleh-named TR6, and why most people did not like it because it was a “promise for the shape of things to come”, and this is not the future anyone liked at least design-wise.

via Autocar

Power was okay at about a 100 horses from an inline-four engine, and it zipped at 120mph top speeds, going 0-60 in a slightly painful 8.5 seconds. The wedge-design is what ultimately took it down in 1981 after only six years in production.

1 Lamborghini Countach: Italian Geometry

via Motor1

The Lamborghini Countach is all angles and corners and has none of that superior Italian designing you expect from the house of Lamborghini. Of course, the idea of the Countach was exclusivity and it achieved that by making only 1,903 examples of the car during its 16-year lifetime.

via Carscoops

Depending on the versions, the power ranges from a mere 350 to a whopping 740 horses with top speeds of 158 to 208 mph. This car was an awesome drive and it was a Lambo. But the Countach's edgy design did not appeal to many people.
