Built by 30-year-old Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi, the insane vehicle was put together using parts from an original 1993 Fiat Panda and was recently demonstrated at the 45th anniversary of the Panda in Pandino - a small town in Italy to the southeast of Milan.
The car is so thin that it's impossible to even fit inside unless you happen to be relatively slim.
While certainly helpful for fitting into tiny gaps, the car is a little on the unstable side, though it does at least take a bit more than just a stiff breeze to cause it to topple over.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It’s an enclosed motorcycle. Leave it to the Italians!
File that under “I wonder if I can make that” and it’s neat. But don’t file it in the practical use folder.
The wind don’t blow in Italy.
A little larger front-box, you could stuff a 350 small block in it.
Cow Tipping - reimagined?
Maybe they could have allowed a little more shoulder room for their manly Italian men?
Death trap.
70% of Americans couldn’t fit
About twice that wide and it would be usable.
Engineering FAIL:
Center of gravity is MUCH too high for that wheelbase.
Cool project. Thinner than the BMW Isetta from the 50’s. He might have a more practical car if he staggered set 2 seats in there ..widened it to about 110 cm...and lowered its CD...IMHO
I think we’ve seen this before.
Check YouTube for Top Gear’s Reliant Robin video.
It’s hilarious!
Isn't there a saying, F.I.A.T. = Fix It Again Ted
Username checks out.
Finally a car more dangerous than the Reliant Robin.

Peter Gregory did it first.
I bet that thing would be exciting to drive across North Dakota in the wintertime.
Is it true it has a top end of 128mph...after being blown off a cliff?
