The 10 most unsafe cars in the history of the automotive industry

A car is one of those things that should be as safe as possible. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. By bad luck or because of the short-sightedness of the designers, some car models turn out to be dangerous primarily for the drivers themselves.

The 1908 Ford Model T is a true legend. Moreover, he is also a real symbol. With all this, this old man is also one of the most dangerous cars. In part, this happened because at that time the concept of car safety was just emerging. However, the fact remains that the Ford Model T was deprived of many things familiar to the modern motorist that make his way safer.

In the early 60s of the last century, the requirements for cars were still not standardized in any way. For this reason, many models lacked even the most common means of individual and collective security. One of these cars was the Chevrolet Corvair. The worst thing about the car was the suspension and rear-engine layout, which made it not the safest.

It's hard to believe, however, such a famous cycle of cars as the Porsche 911 could not always boast of a high level of safety. The models of the 70s had a simply disgusting layout and were extremely vulnerable to losing control at high speed.

In the 70s, Detroit automakers were bound by intense competition and the struggle to reduce prices. Chasing two hares didn't do any good. As a result of "creativity", cars such as the Ford Pinto appeared. The car had a huge number of safety shortcomings, even to the point that there was a threat of damage to the fuel tank when driving.

The iconic DeLorean DMC-12 sports car, known to most primarily thanks to the fantastic movie "Back to the Future", has actually become one of the most unsuccessful and dangerous cars of its decade. The car turned out to be quite fragile. In addition, its wonderful seagull doors could not be opened when turning the car onto the roof.

At one time, the Pontiac Fiero had to restore the manufacturer's good name. Unfortunately, the first models of this "modest" were remembered by motorists due to a different quality. Jokingly, we add that the Pontiac Fiero can be safely considered the first torch car. Due to a number of technical shortcomings, the model very often had engine fires.

The Serbian Yugo GV entered the world market almost 15 years after its release in its homeland. During this time, the car was not just obsolete, it simply did not meet all the modern safety requirements at that time. Moreover, the Yugo GV was also one of the dirtiest cars.

The Ford Bronco II car was incredibly popular at the time, largely due to the fact that it hit the peak of the popularity of SUVs. Unfortunately, this car turned out to be a real "matryoshka". She turned over in almost every situation involving turning the car over. As a result, dozens of drivers per year were killed.

The Chevrolet Cobalt car has become a real star of a series of scandals around its manufacturer. The main achievement of the "designers" here was that this car just periodically turned off its engine. This was due to a whole series of defects that could not be removed for a long time.

Another torch car is the Ferrari 458 Italia. The worst thing is that his engine caught fire due to the peculiarities of the placement of individual elements in the design. It was not possible to remove these shortcomings even due to a deep modernization of the model.
