Imagine a car as wide as your hand! Yes, you read that right — the Fiat Panda, a small Italian car, has now been squeezed down to an unbelievable 48 centimeters wide. This project isn’t the work of a factory or a design team, but the result of one man, Andrea Marazzi, who spent a whole year creating this strange yet fascinating modification.
This once four-seater is now a one-seater, or more precisely, a half-seater, because only one person can fit inside, and that very carefully — with both elbows inside! Driving this “car” is a real adventure, as it’s so narrow it looks like it came straight out of a cartoon or an art installation.
But that’s not all! Although it looks like a motorcycle, the Panda still has four wheels with the original 13-inch tires. The steering wheel looks like a toy, and under the hood hides a 24-volt electric DC motor, because, as Marazzi says, why bother with a gasoline engine when there’s no space? The top speed? A modest 15 km/h, which is more than enough since dynamic stability isn’t this wonder’s strong suit.
Just imagine the patience and creativity needed to make something like this! Many thought it was an experimental Fiat project, maybe for a museum or promotion, but no — it’s the product of one enthusiast’s imagination and persistence.
This project sheds new light on what “small car” means and proves that design limits exist only in our minds. Would you dare to sit in this miniature car? Or is this just another proof that some people are willing to go all the way with their ideas, no matter how weird they are?
