World's narrowest car might finally make it easy to park
The blue car only has space for the driver and possibly one passenger in the back, though we wouldn't be keen to contort ourselves into there.
Just 50cm wide, the car is about the width of a pillow, and has room for just one headlamp on the front.
It would be very easy to reverse park with it though, so we'll give it that.
Unfortuntately, you won't be able to buy one though, unless perhaps if you contact its owner director to make you a bespoke new one.
Andrea Marazzi, 30, made it especially for a festival in Italy celebrating 45 years of the Fiat Panda.
He used original materials from a 1993 model to make the new look electric Panda, which doesn't look any different from the side, then seems comically 2D once you see it head on.

It was a popular sight at the festival in Pandino, southeast of Milan, and has since gone viral.
He is reportedly preparing an official application for it to be recognised by Guinness World Records as the narrowest car ever built.
The car includes the original rear seat, but modified so only the very smallest could perch their bottom on it.
Even the front seat is also very pinched, much narrower than in a standard version.
According to DesignBoom, it weighs 264 kg, is 145 cm tall, and 50cm side. At a top speed of only 15km and range of 25km on a full charge, the catch is that it's not road legal, with its motor taken from an e-scooter.
Mr Marazzi built the car at the scrapyard and workshop owned by his family, Autodemolizione Marazzi in Bagnolo Cremasco. More Trending
He says its sturdier than it looks. Would you drive a car this thin? Yeah, it would save space
In a video on Instagram, he showed how it would not just tip over even when given a significant shove.
'Many people think that it will tip over just by blowing but they are wrong,' he said in Italian.
'Look here – you have to push it a little and it will wobble but it won't [fall over].'

Lewis Hamilton ‘refuses' to join list of champions to fail with Ferrari
Hamilton has not landed a podium in Ferrari colours – a streak of 12 races – the deepest into the season he has ever gone without a top-three finish. He is sixth in the standings, 131 points off the championship pace at the midway stage of his debut Ferrari campaign. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth at the recent British Grand Prix (Andrew Matthews/PA) Following the British Grand Prix, Hamilton said he staged meetings with all of Ferrari's key figures – including chairman John Elkann and team principal Fred Vasseur – and submitted two documents outlining his vision as to why the Italian giants are not up to speed. Ferrari's last world drivers' title came in 2007, with their most recent constructors' crown the following year. Speaking ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton, 40, said: 'I see a huge amount of potential within this team. 'But it's a huge organisation, and there are a lot of moving parts. And not all of them are firing on all the cylinders that they need to be. 'That's ultimately why the team has not had the success that I think it deserves. So, I feel that it's my job to challenge absolutely every area, to challenge everybody in the team, particularly the guys that are at the top who are making the decisions. Rain or shine, the Tifosi are always here 🫶 — Scuderia Ferrari HP (@ScuderiaFerrari) July 24, 2025 'If you look at the team over the last 20 years, they've had amazing drivers. Kimi (Raikkonen), Fernando (Alonso), Sebastian (Vettel) — all world champions. However, they didn't win a world championship. (Raikkonen did in 2007). 'I refuse for that to be the case with me. So, I'm going the extra mile. If you take the same path all the time, you get the same results. So I'm just challenging certain things. There's still a lot of improvements to be made, but they've been very responsive.' Hamilton, who has a two-year deal at Ferrari with an option for a third, will hope an upgraded rear suspension for Sunday's race at Spa-Francorchamps will improve his fortunes. He concluded: 'I'm here to win. I don't have much time but I truly believe in the potential of this team. 'I really believe they can win multiple world championships moving forward. That's my sole goal.'
