Italian inventor's ‘pillow-width' Fiat Panda stuns the Internet: ‘This dude is driving a NY apartment'
There's no shortage of unusual cars around the world, but every now and then, one comes along that truly boggles the mind. The latest viral sensation is a Fiat Panda that an Italian inventor has reimagined. Many are calling it the world's narrowest car. And yes–it runs.
A clip of the bizarre vehicle is making waves on social media, first shared by an Instagram account named Dicirelu. As reported by The Sun, the car is just about the width of a regular pillow and has been cheekily nicknamed 'Panda for One.' Painted in a soft sky-blue shade, the car looks almost like it was ripped out of a cartoon–comically flat and impossibly thin.
Despite its slender frame, the car still sports four wheels and features a single headlight up front, flanked by two miniature indicator lights. It's approximately a third as wide as the original Panda 141 and about a quarter the width of the newer Grande Panda. The tires are razor-thin, and the cabin inside is, obviously, even smaller.
Inside, there's just one seat in the front, and somehow, another squeezed in behind it—bringing the potential seating capacity to two, though getting to the back requires crawling through the only door on the driver's side.
The inventor takes the ultra-thin ride out for a spin in the video, confidently cruising down regular streets while people online, and on the road, try to wrap their heads around it.

Social media had a field day. Many users are cracking jokes, with one saying, 'This dude is driving a NY apartment.'
Another user said, 'My current budget rn.' A third user commented, 'Can somebody go back and tell younger me that we got our answer for if one-person cars exist.'
A fourth person commented, 'That's a coffin if you crash.' A fifth individual wrote, 'Me, who calculated on my math exam that John's car is 25 mm wide.'
This isn't the first time a vehicle has gone viral for being offbeat. Not long ago in Pakistan, the Internet fell in love with a half-bike, half-car hybrid that was equally bizarre and fascinating.
