“7 Cars That Bankrupted the Companies That Built Them”

Some cars fail… but others leave a much bigger impact.

In this episode of Hidden Wheels, we uncover the true stories of cars so disastrous, so flawed, and so financially destructive… that they didn’t just end production — they ended the companies that created them.

From the legendary DeLorean DMC-12 to the infamous Yugo, from the ambitious Iso Grifo to the doomed Vector M12, these machines might look iconic today, but behind the scenes they carried secrets, scandals, failures, and financial tragedies.

🚗 In this documentary, you’ll learn:

• Why the DeLorean collapsed despite becoming a pop-culture icon
• How the “Safety Vehicle” Bricklin SV-1 became one of the most unreliable cars ever
• The shocking reasons the government crushed the Tucker 48
• Why the Yugo became known as “the worst car ever sold”
• How the Vector M12 destroyed America’s supercar dream
• The financial downfall behind the Peerless GT
• How the Iso Grifo fell victim to an oil crisis and economic disaster

Every one of these cars left a devastating mark on the companies behind them.
Their stories are warnings.
