How about that 3 wheeled car Tiff drove in his Burning Rubber video? That "car" sure was tricky to handle... even Tiff managed to roll it

Tiff intentionally rolled a Reliant Robin in his "Burning Rubber" vid. As for the XJR-15, they were produced for a one-make race series but a few, an extremely small few, were produced and sold as road cars. The engine was too high, the transmission was terrible for road use and made an incredible amount of noise and the mass of that V12 out back was too much for the chassis to handle.

difficult cars to drive?
any superpowerfull light bodied rwd car without driver control aids is gonna cause a driver who doesnt know what hes doing serious problems.
btw former F1 driver Gerhard Burger has stated that he found the F40 an incredibly difficult car to handle both dry n wet ,
also Tvrs are notorious for being a little too "tricky" in the wet. ask anyone at pistonheads and they'll echo the above sentiment.
ol school 911s too

My best firend's 1980 AMC Eagle.
Not because it handles poorly (even though it does), but because whenever you take it out, you never know what's going to break or blow up. If you're at speed and attempt to turn on the AC, the radio will go out and the speedometer would stop working. One time a wheel just fell off when we were cruising home from a day of skiing. We were only going about 45 mph, but the right rear just flew off the car. It was things like that which made that car tricky. It was high anxiety driving.

At least if you crashed you were in a volvo

The 996 GT2 is known to be a difficult car to handle compared to the standard C2 and the Turbo, but it is nowhere near as hairy to drive as the 993 GT2 was.
