Dorkiest Looking Rally Cars

Some rides are efficient, sleek, and fast (according to everyday car standards), but that does not mean that they should be made into rally cars. Making certain models into racing vehicles is like trying to put your lazy mutt of a family pet into the Westminster Dog Show; it would just look ridiculous. And thus, here are the dorkiest rally cars.

1

Mini Cooper

There’s no denying that the Mini Cooper has a sort of zippy pizzazz to it. Drivers are fond of the car for its good handling, small size, decent acceleration, and stylish design. However, the Mini is still fighting with the bigger boys for some much-need street cred as a rally car. At present, the only way to look cool in the rather emasculating little car is to in fact be Mark Wahlberg or Charleze Theron. We can all say thank you to the Italian Job for that perspective.

Ford Fiesta

Ford Fiesta was built to cruise the metropolitan streets of the world with great gas mileage and tech-friendly features. In fact, the Fiesta is a bestseller of its category throughout much of Europe and Brazil. The Fiesta Movement even has the car gaining popularity back in the U.S. But despite all of Ford’s positive PR, the Fiesta still seems a little silly as a rally car.

Dodge Rally Neon

Arguably, the biggest issue with the Dodge Neon as a rally car is its outdated look. No matter how many upgrades are made to the engine and interior, the 90’s will still be calling to demand their car back. No amount of racing stripes can convert this unappealing car body style to a rally-worthy ride. The good news is that other drivers may potentially underestimate this car’s ability to leave them in the dust.
Dorkiness aside, these cars are all great non-rally vehicles. Who can blame them for aspiring to reach higher levels of performance and bad-assery?
