Nonsensically narrow 'world's thinnest car' is unveiled in Italy
Unexplained Mysterries ^ | 07/08/2025 | T.K. Randall

Posted on 07/09/2025 9:08:15 AM PDT by BenLurkin

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.

"Many people think that it will tip over just by blowing but they are wrong," said Marazzi.

It’s an enclosed motorcycle. Leave it to the Italians!

Well, by American definition standards, it's not a motorcycle. Generally, motorcycles have to have two or three wheels (bicycle/tricycle). Four shalt though not count. Five is right out.

It’s kind of like a motorcycle, but with the wheel arrangement you can’t lean it in a turn. A strong enough wind might. Won’t sell many of these in certain states.

A little larger front-box, you could stuff a 350 small block in it.

Or make it longer and drop a straight eight into it.

Isn't there a saying, F.I.A.T. = Fix It Again Ted

Fiat is an Italian company.

It's Fix It Again Tony, as in Tony Baggadonuhts.

Obviously this was deliberately not a design criterion.

The full-size FIAT Panda is small enough.

I could fit in twice, but no way I’d ever buy that junky little death trap. Looks like a strong wind would knock it down.

Yes...I had a momentary blind spot on “Tony”.

Recently, I considered buying an Alfa Romeo Giulia...but it has same quality reputation as their fellow Italian, Fiat.
