With over 1 billion cars on the road, it has been found that every one in four cars are produced in China. Also over 176 thousand cars are produced each day and thereby it is not surprising then that there would be some that would eventually be deemed as failures among the lot.
Among the top five automobile failure of all times, the first goes to the amphicar or the 'Car that you could drive on water as well as land'.
Being the brainchild of German race driver Hanns Trippel, almost 4000 units of the Amphicar was sold but what caused its failure was the fact that it wasn't exactly waterproof enough to travel on water and even then when you did, it traveled only about 7 miles per hour.
