The ‘lowest’ car in the world, check this out…

21 August 2008 2 Comments

Having been inspired by the batmobile, this ‘flatmobile’ was built by Perry Watkins from Buckinghamshire, UK. At just 48 cm in height (just abit taller than the ducks at your local lakeside), this car is now officially the ‘lowest’ car in the world, it’s recently gone into the Guinness Book of Records. It is truly ‘low’, so low that the passengers inside it have got the majority of upper body above the car itself… The ‘flatmobile’ is so low that it appears to be nothing when compared to the already very small Fiat Punto (I hope I didn’t get that car wrong, it’s in the pic below). It’s also got a jet engine, but it’s horrible to drive says the creator…

    Yeah, I have seen this thing before in the news. It is sometimes funny that some people rather spend a certain amount of money on making an old car special rathan than buying a new car which will be much more comfortable and high-tech.

    Also, the car is not really suitable for UK weather.

    Yeah! It’s not really suited for the floods that we occasionally get here in the UK :)
