19. Bricklin SV-1
The Bricklin SV-1 promised innovation as a “Safety Vehicle One,” but reality fell far short.
Despite its bold marketing, the SV-1 was plagued by mechanical failures, disappointing crash test results, and subpar build quality.
Its unique gullwing doors and striking looks couldn’t compensate for its fundamental flaws. The irony of a “safety vehicle” that failed to deliver on its core promise makes its street-legal status especially questionable.
