You gotta love the Columbus design having exactly ZERO similarities to any other BMWs^^ No double kidney grill, no side lines or edges, nothing. Just a sailboat for the road. Amazing
@@e.rivera4251 it would make a good Uber...but replace the things like VHS with modern amenities. Actually with today's tech you could probally make it far better.
It wasn't made by BMW, but had its V-12 powering it. The Italdesign Columbus could be one of those vehicles that the "Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015" allows 325 cars a year or less to be made by small manufacturers. Here's a page about the Columbus: www.motor1.com/photo/3664865/1992-italdesign-columbus/
Okay, I understand that that Columbus car looks weird from the outside, but it looks as spacious and comfortable on the inside as the starship Enterprise. I want it! I want it now! 😭
As much as I've seen this vehicle get positive comments by far the most of all 300 videos on this channel, I cant believe it never made it to production. Such a shame.
Number 13 (Optica): This was definitely NOT quieter than normal airplanes its size. A sample was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in ~1980 for evaluation. The airplane made the loudest, most annoying whining noise I've ever heard. Visibility may have been great, but you could hear it 10 miles.
@@RomainSandt Ital Design is no joke, actually top, I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's a duplex flat, but more drivable than the average motor home, the v12 is awesome but maybe overkill..
#4 could be brought back as electric,. Families would love it. Much room, comfy, nice interior, kids and families would love it. Famly weekend van or for camping. 🤗
I had once a orange plastic miniature of that BMW Columbus bought in Southern India.... didn’t knew what it was supposed to be... till now! Thank you 🙏
You have to wonder if the very first auto profiled in this video didn't inspire the animated movie "Cars", because it looks like it came right out of it!
#4, #3 and #1 are my favorite...the no1 "Bubble car" is an absolute work of art ! I could spend hours looking at it. And the BMW Columbus, wow, i would love to turn one of those into a Camper, at 20 feet long it's certainly has enough room for it ! The Sea Ranger looks straight of of 70's tv serie Space 1999 ! Thanks for putting this video together !
The 1992 BMW Is The Totally Dope Looks Way Better Than The Mercedes This Car Can Definitely Be Used For Uber And Lyft And Limousine Service Because That Van There is Huge
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! a great glimpse of 10 of the oddest, with hundreds more to be added in future videos. As time permits, I'll offer some suggestions!
The stretched Oldsmobile has the highest potential for multiple uses such as camper,school bus and VIP transport all in one car. Horrendous for parking.
I remember when the Ital Design Columbus was new. I remember seeing photo's of it in car magazines. I always thought it was very cool. The sea ranger was designed in Italy by Luigi Colani. Thanks.
These vehicles almost prove a point that holds true with any invention. I'm sure everyone watching sees at least one that they like and think should've been successful. Anything you make has more to do with how you market it as anything. Timing and luck are imperative also. Many are too far ahead of their time and knowing human nature and our resistance to change is important
Huh. Looking at this after a whole year, I realize now the 1937 Airomobile looks exactly like the Aptera car - which was a California automotive start-up that also never made it out of the production stage & whose car could get up to 125mpg. Gee, it's almost like there's somebody - or several somebodies - intentionally trying to keep us from becoming "too" fuel-efficient!

Good on ya...! Nice work... totally subjective.
That would make it a 5 liter engine (61 X 5 = 305 cubic inches.)
@@jimburig7064 Good point..you're hired!
Great! When do I start?
These are all very cool I was glad to see the Olds Toronado / Vista Cruiser. I wouldn't mind owning one of those
That oldsmobile toronado limo, that 1955 Ford bubble top, and BMW Columbus, were my favorites.
You gotta love the Columbus design having exactly ZERO similarities to any other BMWs^^
No double kidney grill, no side lines or edges, nothing. Just a sailboat for the road. Amazing
There’s several on here that I’d love any day with the Columbus and Sea Ranger being my top ones. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great job.
BMW Columbus looked practical. They should make it
Um, it wasn't a BMW, just used a BMW engine. It is actually an Italian concept car.
The engine was in the middle of it. Rear wheel drive. IT could make a high end passenger uber/lift transport
I liked it to. Much nicer than modern people carriers.
it does look like it would be very popular with uber drivers
@@e.rivera4251 it would make a good Uber...but replace the things like VHS with modern amenities. Actually with today's tech you could probally make it far better.
It's a reminder that there was some car designs in the late 90s that were very ahead their time.
I hate to say this, but the Columbus is the nest in this bunch.
The BMW Columbus would make an awesome campervan!!
All the vehicles are wicked. My favorite is the helicopter
I really like the columbus.
Yea... if i would choice between that han and a people carrier... it would not even be a choice.
I did not expect to see one of the best kerbal crackpots in a video about cars but this surprise is welcome nonetheless.
The BMW Columbus is a "crazy" car I would gladly buy.
DriverOp Oremor I like it too and I don’t know why...
Me too...

It’s an ItalDesign Columbus
I'll take the sea ranger. An amphibious unimog, hell yes.
I like the Gurgel look pretty straight forward on your small car needs
Gurgel foi a maior manifestação da criatividade brasileira para construção de carros em sua época,esse carro estava a frente de seu tempo.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Pão com ovo
The BMW Columbus is deffinately a vehicle to have! I can sit by my self while I transport my family! Room for everyone!
awesome 👍
Columbus could make a sweet tiny camper
Okay, I understand that that Columbus car looks weird from the outside, but it looks as spacious and comfortable on the inside as the starship Enterprise. I want it! I want it now! 😭
As much as I've seen this vehicle get positive comments by far the most of all 300 videos on this channel, I cant believe it never made it to production. Such a shame.
@@mindseyedesign Perhaps the production would've been too costly for the time... Who knows, maybe some day they'll turn up with something similar.
I like the BMW Columbus.
Definitely the BMW Columbus, it’s a pity it never made it to production.
I love both Columbus and sea-ranget
Whoah... a Toronado limousine!!!
Number 13 (Optica): This was definitely NOT quieter than normal airplanes its size. A sample was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in ~1980 for evaluation. The airplane made the loudest, most annoying whining noise I've ever heard. Visibility may have been great, but you could hear it 10 miles.
I'll bet that Bubble top is a hot as hell place to sit on a clear sunny day.
1:11 puts a whole new meaning to owning a land yacht
I really like the BMW Columbus...but I'd fit it out for traveling alone. You could live in that thing.
Me too I wish that there were more RV/Coach/Van's with tapered jetfighter bubble where you drive.
Yes! I would’ve love a tiny house roaming RV type fitted Columbus, that’s a sexy looking machine.
I love it, been in it... And it's not a BMW, just has a BMW engine. It was made by ItalDesign.
Still want it anyway
@@RomainSandt Ital Design is no joke, actually top, I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's a duplex flat, but more drivable than the average motor home, the v12 is awesome but maybe overkill..
To me The Columbus is the best 👌😍❤
I would love to drive the columbus, it is not a beauty, but definitely looks like it woul make an awesome van.
Cassie at 12:07 has a very high cuteness factor. Cheers!
Nooo! Her makeup is an abomination.
The volani sea ranger is my favourite because it looks like an military vehicle
That columbus would still be a show stopper today
BMW Columbus. Very nice
I like the Columbus van by BMW.
The tornado limousine most definitely my favorite.
One of the Best lists of original cars that I have ever seen. Very well thought out list. And I have seen many. Excellent job. Thanks.
The BMW Columbus was awesome! Jet Black Paint, nicer rims, limo-tint, updated electronics and a stripper pole. That would be a badass daily driver 😆👍🏻
but why the stripper pole, U tryna make a mobile strip club or what ?
Nice video!!
THIS IS A MUST WATCH VIDEO.! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND I HAVE BEEN AROUND AWHILE!! LOL
I would buy the Toronodo in a heartbeat
Love that BMW futuristic design
The Columbus and the Toronado are the look the best.
I wouldn't mind owning that ultralight plane. The perfect ultralight photography aircraft
#4 could be brought back as electric,. Families would love it. Much room, comfy, nice interior, kids and families would love it. Famly weekend van or for camping. 🤗
The Optica arson attack story is pretty crazy. Y'all in the experimental tech world are brutal....😁
The Beatnik Bubbletop looks like a car you would find in the Fallout Game Series.
Indeed, and/or as a Hot Wheels car.
I liked the little blue one person vehicle. The ideal of bringing it in the house appeals to me.
Finally a video with actual unique and interesting cars. Well done. Also, I'm pretty sure if BMW sold that van now it'd actually be pretty popular.
It has been a while since I watched this video. I forgot how crazy some of these vehicles look!!!!!
That BMW was freakin brilliant. Please put them on the market.
Thet wasn't a BMW at all. It only had a BMW engine, but it was a Italdesign concept car.
@Al Morrison --> Different strokes for different folks!
The Columbus { No4 } is the best lookin if produced it would be great as a limo
the best part is right at the end. What a beauty :)
My favorites were #2 and the 20 foot long BMW
awesome video guys!!! man #2 is beyond crazy it plain doesn't make sense !!
I had once a orange plastic miniature of that BMW Columbus bought in Southern India.... didn’t knew what it was supposed to be... till now! Thank you 🙏
It was crushed, by accident, in my latest move 😔 😁
😭😭😭😭 bummer! At least you found out what it was 👍
Thanks
I really liked the Columbus!
You have to wonder if the very first auto profiled in this video didn't inspire the animated movie "Cars", because it looks like it came right out of it!
Cool, a Brazilian Gurgel.
Love all these crazy looking cars
1. Looks like something you would see in Futurama.
Fun stuff. All very interesting.
Capsula is a design by Robertino Giugiaro, who also designed DMC-12 Delorean and Lancia Delta, a monolyth of the italian automotive
* Giorgetto Giugiaro
Favorite retro car for me would be the Mercedes C111. That thing looked slick! And I would agree that the Columbus isn't half bad.
C112! GAS GAS GAS!
#4, #3 and #1 are my favorite...the no1 "Bubble car" is an absolute work of art ! I could spend hours looking at it. And the BMW Columbus, wow, i would love to turn one of those into a Camper, at 20 feet long it's certainly has enough room for it ! The Sea Ranger looks straight of of 70's tv serie Space 1999 !
Thanks for putting this video together !
I would buy the Columbus. They should try to bring it back.
I Loved #13 :) Hope they build more of them again.
You guys make awesome videos!!!!!!Keep up the good work
The 1992 BMW Is The Totally Dope
Looks Way Better Than The Mercedes This Car Can Definitely Be Used For Uber And Lyft
And Limousine Service Because That Van There is Huge
Love it!!
I love the lavender bubble top one off. Very creative. I would like to know more about its stats, comforts and amenities.
Of this list, I like the Columbus the best. I remember reading a review of it many years ago and always hoped to see it produced.
Thank you
I see Gurgel, I upvote. Go and make a video about the man behind the Gurgel cars. Thank me later.
Great job! love the channel!
No 1 best
Number 14 is so cool!
I like the 7/9 set BMW. With all the recreational vehicles getting around now, fitting it out with fridge, microwave, etc it would make a hit.
Columbus and Colani amphibious car
5:21 when u see it, u can't unsee it.
I like the Columbus...That would be an awesome cruising/RV/camper...
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! a great glimpse of 10 of the oddest, with hundreds more to be added in future videos. As time permits, I'll offer some suggestions!
#4 1992 BMW Columbus was my Favorite Vehicle
I love the BMW Columbus , i would buy that today if it was released on the market for sale.
The stretched Oldsmobile has the highest potential for multiple uses such as camper,school bus and VIP transport all in one car.
Horrendous for parking.
I like the BMW Van
Great video!
Those dsls in pink where my favorite.
68 Oldsmobile Toronado 707 Limousine - Definitely something Elvis would have owned.

Hello Mike Tee, thank you for watching!
ORANGE YOU GLAD YOU WATCH NUMBER 15.?
Very interesting. Have a nice day now.
Huh. Looking at this after a whole year, I realize now the 1937 Airomobile looks exactly like the Aptera car - which was a California automotive start-up that also never made it out of the production stage & whose car could get up to 125mpg. Gee, it's almost like there's somebody - or several somebodies - intentionally trying to keep us from becoming "too" fuel-efficient!
Id love to own the sea ranger, that thing is awesome.
The BME Colombus is the first BMW to really catch my eye. I really like tge different desine
I'd love to have an Italdesign Columbus and retrofit it to a class C RV.
The girl at the end was the most interesting, so she gets my thumps up.
La Man my thoughts exactly. Lol
My thoughts exactly!
I think she is a Alien in a rubber suit . Notice the monotone color of the skin and long neck.
I second that emotion!
The thirst of YT commenters is real
БИГА очень правильный концепт ! Вот куда должен был двигаться дизайн городского авто. Автомобиль в городе это средство ПЕРЕДВИЖЕНИЯ, а не самовыражения. Но человеки хочет понтов, и автопроизводители потакают им...
The Columbus Should Be Made
I WANT IT NOW!😨
I like retro!!!!!!!!!!!!
