The 2016 Halloween is just around the corner and to participate and celebrate the occasion, automotive experts HPI have listed their Top 13 eerily named vehicles following a poll amongst its team of motoring editors.
Tim Bearder at HPI says that it would be fun to look at some of the scary names car manufacturers give to their models. Getting the name of a car right is really important for manufacturers so that it appeals to consumers and sells well. Maybe with some of the models that HPI came up with, the manufacturers were hoping to scare up a bit of business by giving their cars a menacing but memorable name. The HPI team has compiled some outlandish and wonderfully terrifying named vehicles over the years ranging from obscure concept cars, supercars and high value models to more mainstream cars. Here’s what they came out with.
The Top 13 list of eerily named cars polled by HPI is:
- Rolls-Royce Phantom
- AMC Gremlin
- Pontiac Banshee
- Hillman Imp
- Lamborghini Diablo
- Alfa Romeo Spider
- Plymouth Prowler
- Ford Probe
- Spectre R42
- Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
- Rolls-Royce Wraith
- DF Goblin
- Lamborghini Murcielago (Murcielago is Spanish for ‘bat’)
