Bond Bug

As a groovy Kei Car with three wheels from the early ’70s, the Bond Bug is a pretty unique vehicle. Not only does it have a strange wheel configuration, but the top of the body lifts to allow access inside. In front, just above the front wheel, there is a small 700 cc four-cylinder engine made of light alloy capable of producing 29 hp. You may think that 29 hp is not that much. And you are right. But as Bond Bug weighs less than 400 kg, its performance is pretty vivid (via Auto Express).

It was a fun car, a kind of a Go Kart for adults. With its wedge design and swanky ’70s graphics, it soon became quite popular. Of course, it could have been more stable since it had a single wheel at the front, but it could provide swift acceleration. This was good enough for most customers. Its small dimensions and lightness gave the exaggerated feel of speed, making you think you were traveling much faster than you were. On the other hand, stability and crash protection were minimal. And the Bond Bug was a dangerous car. It stayed in production for four years from 1970 to 1974 and precisely 2,270 examples left the factory.
