In the history of automobiles, which famous cars failed in design?

After putting products with wonderful shapes or wrong positioning on the market, they are not recognized and can only secretly retire after a short life. The beauty and ugliness of automobile design belongs to the traction of benevolent people, but it is also inevitably divorced from the aesthetics of the public and eventually abandoned by the public.

Nissan zuk/Infinide? ESQ

As an occasional car on the road now, if it looks strange, many people will think of it for the first time. Few people believe that the Nissan booth will mass-produce the strange concept car Qazana in 2009. Concept. In the second year, Nissan officially launched a production model called JUKE, faithfully retaining the design of Qazana before science fiction.

With a small SUV, the car has a strong personality, the exaggerated hickey is transferred to the hood, and a pair of three-dimensional rotating lights make the front face of the car look "evil". (william shakespeare, Xia Wen, read, read, read) This design looks like a freak from outer space. People who like it will think it is cool, while those who hate it will think it is too exaggerated. (William Shakespeare Hamlet Love) However, it may be because Europe and America generally like small SUVs. After listing, it has maintained a good sales volume in North America and Europe, but entered China with a conservative aesthetic, but it still showed a failure. On the other hand, it's the same. On the other hand, it's the same. )。

Ford pinto pinto

1at the beginning of 970, Ford's pinto brand car became the best-selling small car in the United States because of its excellent design, low fuel consumption and low price. However, due to the design defects of the fuel tank, this car is easy to catch fire in the collision! Become the most notorious model in Ford history!

The fuse of the incident was 1978 August 10, a Ford Zebra (Ford? On a highway in Indiana, the rear of the car was hit and the fuel tank exploded, killing three girls on the spot. Since then, in the seven years since the car came out, there have been nearly 50 lawsuits about rear collision and explosion.

The root cause of the problem is that the fuel tank of this car is designed under the rear axle, which is easy to explode or explode after rear-end collision. This problem should attract Ford's attention immediately and recall the improvement in time. But Ford calculated the benefits and thought that compensation was more economical than improving the design, so the time to set up the protection device was delayed. (David Asher, North? After the exposure (American TV series, Health), the car lost its reputation and finally withdrew from the market at 198 1 forever. "Ford Pinto Door" became one of the darkest vicious incidents in Ford history.

Sinclair C5 single electric vehicle

This car was designed by 1985 in Britain, and its positioning is on a small single electric car, not a traditional car. This kind of electric car, which can only be driven by one person, was developed by Sir Clive Sinclair, a famous British millionaire. It was called the future environmental ambassador at the beginning of its design. But its fate will eventually end in failure. Sinclair? C5 is also called "one of the greatest marketing bombs of postwar British industry" and "notorious failure case". The fault is that the car has no structure to turn off first, so it can't help in rainy days. In other words, although the corresponding raincoats are all officially designed, the wearing effects are very diverse. (William Shakespeare failed in Windsummer) (Second, it is anti-human to put your hand under the bridge and hold the handle. Third, the speed is too slow, the top speed is only 24 kilometers per hour, and uphill is slower, and climbing requires human pedals. Fourth, driving safety cannot be guaranteed.

Audi A2

Yes! Audi also produced A2 model, which is a revolutionary innovation in automobile history. It's not a design failure, it's just too advanced and the result is not good. First of all, it uses a large number of aluminum fuselage, 1999 can be said to be a revolution. Lighter than any similar car, the lightest version reaches an exaggerated 895kg, the fuel consumption per kloc-0/00 km reaches an exaggerated 2L, and a box of oil (35l) can carry four people from Stuttgart to Milan.

However, the price of aluminum is high and its ductility is not as good as that of traditional steel. Audi needs a lot of efforts to optimize the interior space, and the high price and use cost make consumers flinch. Before exiting the market in 2005, Audi lost 4,000 euros for every A2 it sold. 1999-2005 Audi A2 produced a total of 176377 vehicles, and its competitor Mercedes-Benz A-class exceeded 1 10,000 vehicles. Of course, Audi may restart the battlefield with a new A2 in the future. (Audi).

American Cars in 1950s and 1960s

If today's car styling design is equivalent to a serious office worker, then the second child and styling design 60 years ago are simply Bohemian sarmat. Many people miss American cars in the 1950s and 1960s, but this is the era of rocket tail, which was initiated by Harry Eyre. At that time, Americans were immersed in the cosmic dream of victory and flight all day and felt that they were the masters of the earth.

Therefore, the tail wing, from imitating the P-38 fighter to the rocket, is getting higher and higher and more exaggerated. But in fact, this thing is big and heavy and useless. Like today's rear spoiler, it can improve handling, and the car is relatively heavy, so it can't be used anywhere except the United States. So after the inflation period and several economic crises, American cars returned to normal.

Most of the cars that fail in actual design are based on the failure of the product itself, and the aesthetic appearance and sales performance are only reference. Although we are still in the era of "face value", looking back at those cars that have been eliminated by history is a new attempt and a brand belonging to that era. So we should actively encourage originality. Because it can provide us with more choices and feelings.
