20 of the Most Memorable and Cool-Looking Wedge-Shaped Cars Ever Made

Vukasin Herbez June 6, 2019

  1. Mercedes C111 Concept

Although never a production model, the Mercedes C111 was one of the most famous wedge-shaped cars that debuted in the early ‘70s. They designed this orange classic as a rolling test laboratory for different engine technologies and aerodynamic research.

Aside from the Gullwing doors, they equipped the C111 Concept with various prototype engines including some Wankel rotary units as well as a few high-performance diesels. There was even a V8-powered version, as well.

  1. Lamborghini Urraco

The Urraco had a mid-mounted 2.0-liter V8 with 180 HP capable of reaching 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. But when you compare it to later models and other well-known Lamborghini supercars, that is not as good. However, that’s still quite a performance by ‘70s standards.

Sadly, they built the Urraco during dark times for performance cars. Also, some rumors said they assembled the car poorly. But Lamborghini managed to produce over 700 of them, so those little, wedge-shaped cars deserve another look.

These are 20 of the most memorable and cool-looking wedge-shaped cars they ever made. Which one caught your eye? All these vehicles are attractive and revolutionary in their design, engines and innovations.
