Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. At one point it was the lowest rated game ever on metacritic.

The opponents don't move, there is no clipping of obstacles, and once you cross the finish line you are greeted with a screen proudly saying "You're Winner!"

Let's not forget the missing speed cap for the reverse gear. You can accelerate to over 1000 mph and fly off the map.

Obviously, the game developers were unexperienced and couldn't deliver a functioning product. What's amazing is that the company had the audacity to sell it in stores nevertheless.
