This car sprang to mind straight away. Do you know why?

Wheelbase different on either side?

Amc pacer had driver and passenger doors a different size

Renault 6 had differing wheelbases too no?

Probably not something people want to know - the fabled R34 Skyline GT-R. As good a car as cars go, but with an asymmetrical bonnet (not to mention exhaust).



Same with the M3 CSL. Offset air intake.

Alloy wheels that go one way and one side of the car and the other way on the other. Cant think what cars Ive seen them on, a few though.

Surprised this hasn't come up yet.

Murcielago LP640 (Coupe + Roadster)





The extra opening on the left side (just in front of rear wheel) is for the ventilation of the oil cooler.

^^^ and backwards alloys on the right hand side of the car too.

Also, any Volvo.

Not unless the cylinders are in a straight line ...

That would only work if it had intake and exhaust ports on both sides of the cylinder head

BMW-Apfelbeck Formula 2 engine:





Not truly symmetrical as the valves were diametrically opposed in the head, so there was a small offset side to side.

And of course most vee-engines display a similar level of overall symmetry anyway.

I've seen at least one verbena that was asymmetrical. Probably just down to build quality though

All of them. Except the Mclaren F1 and the Ariel Atom.

You know why...

The ariel atom is symmetrical? Show me.

BAC Mono? Not the Atom though.

The Hyundai Veloster has two doors on one side and only one on the other.

Volvo 243 http://jalopnik.com/5148730/ultra-rare-or-ultra-cu...

Built either because of a factory cock up putting 244 saloon right sides on 242 coupes that they finished and sold, or a special order for the police (1 way in and out for the scrotes in the back seat). 30 were made and sold in Estonia.

In this respect:

Ar you sure Maldonado didn't just knock that bit off and the team just glued it back on wrong? They were skint at the time
