Italian car company 'Volpecar' has released the world's tiniest car. This vehicle is so small in fact that one could hypothetically drive it into the elevator at their work building and get off at the 30th floor right next to their desk. Of course, this is not what Volpecar intends their creation will be used for.
The automobile only takes up 6 square feet of space on the road, which allows for easy navigation on narrow streets and busy traffic. This car would be especially good for European cities where the roads can often be quite slim.
With some tune-ups and final design decisions still to be made, this itty-bitty vehicle is planned to go on sale in 2013.
