The mini car was reported to have a measurement of 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.
According to several news sites, Perry Watkins only used a coin-operated children’s ride. He repainted the body and repurposed a chassis from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike. The rear tires and wheels are from a Honda Monkey motorcyle while the front wheels were custom-made.
The world’s smallest car has security belts and can drive 60 kph.
Reports said that the mini car will be shown at the motor show in Essen, Germany starting November 27, 2010 until December 5, 2010.
