The world's smallest car which measures 25 inches height and 4 feet length has entered the Guinness World Records as it can be safely driven on the road. Developed by US based custom car maker Austin Coluson has set the record as the owner of smallest car, which is roadwrothy and can legally be driven on road.
Commenting on the record, he said, "I've always wanted to have a Guinness World Records (title) for something and automotive was always my favourite," "So I went home and looked up this current world record and thought, 'I could do that,'" he added. The car has 25 inches height, 2 feet, 1.75 inches width and 4 feet length, and can be seen in the city wearing Texas vanity license plates having 'IM BIG' written on it. Guinness website claims that to qualify it as a roadworthy vehicle, Coulson had to get the car registered and install a number of required safety features.
In terms of features, this car has federally approved safety glass for the windshield, function wipers, a seat belt, a horn and signal lights approved by department of transportation.
"When I told my family I was going to try and get the world record for the smallest roadworthy car, they were a little sceptical at first," Coulson said. "All along, the whole process, they kept questioning it. They knew I could build the car, they just didn't think I could get it legal," added Coulson.
