Italian Mechanic Turns Old Fiat into the World’s Narrowest Drivable Car
Italian mechanic and YouTuber Andrea Marazzi recently made international news headlines for turning a 1993 Fiat Panda into the world’s “skinniest” drivable car.

The so-called Flat Fiat looks like something made with AI, but it’s the very real creation of a young car mechanic who wanted to build the world’s narrowest drivable car. Although it retains most of the parts of the 1993 Fiat Panda, Andrea Marazzi’s special model is only 50 centimeters wide, enough space for just a driver, and a single headlight to help the driver see at night. Marazzi spent 12 months hand-building the Flat Fiat using ‘99 percent of the original parts’ of the 1993 Fiat Panda it is based on, even retaining the four wheels, despite its’ ultra-skinny frame.

The full-electric Flat Fiat stands at 145 cm tall, is 340 cm long, and is just 50 cm wide, with a negligible weight of only 264 kilograms (582 lbs). Due to its modest frame, the car reaches a top speed of only 15 km/h (9.3 mph) and has a battery autonomy of 25 km (15.5 miles) on a single charge. Those aren’t the most impressive figures, but then again, the Flat Fiat is not a road-legal vehicle, just a crazy project designed to draw attention and promote Marazzi’s junkyard business.

“It all started here, in our junkyard, but above all, with a crazy idea. Imagination, patience, and days of work,” Marazzi said. “A year of cutting, welding, mistakes, and laughter. A year pursuing something that no one had ever done: the narrowest Panda in the world.”
After going viral with his unusual car, Marazzi is now focusing his energy on an official application for Guinness World Record recognition as the narrowest car ever built.

Art piece.
Dude chose probably the perfect car for this and made a bang up job of it.
Unless it gets all famous those sides will be good for a proper Panda.

Starter motor powered Fiat, kinda works.

Flippy-up stabilisers are important if you want to enclose a bike.

to be fair that probably has less to do with his narrow car and more to do with him being Italian while I'm stuck in the dating/sexual hellscape that is every American blue city.
