18 cars that are considered the smallest in the world (19 photos)
If you think that the fashion for mini cars has arisen in the last few years, then you are deeply mistaken. Interest in compact cars appeared quite a long time ago and not out of nowhere.
As cities became busier, more and more residents began to prefer miniature car models, because they are easier to maneuver and park. In addition, the “kids” save a lot of fuel and are much cheaper to maintain.
The mini-car trend has been picked up by many manufacturers around the world. Everyone tries to create their own unique brainchild, which will be small, fast and functional. In connection with this “race”, the range of small models is constantly increasing. However, there are some companies that have gone a little overboard in their desire to design the perfect microcar. Below are photos of cars that turned out extremely tiny.
