Someone Turned A Real Fiat Panda Into 1:1 Drivable Fridge Magnet

Car builders usually imagination astir making vehicles faster, wider, lower, oregon much powerful. Andrea Marazzi went successful a wholly antithetic direction. Instead of stretching a Fiat Panda into thing outrageous, similar this brain-scrambling M3 from China, helium squeezed 1 down until it became hardly wider than the idiosyncratic driving it.

The effect is an archetypal first-generation Fiat Panda that’s conscionable 19.7 inches (500 mm) wide. While it looks similar thing created with questionable Photoshop skills, the tiny instrumentality is precise existent and really moves nether its ain powerfulness contempt being truthful skinny it lone has country for a azygous headlight.

Squeezed By Hand Over A Year

Marazzi, an Italian craftsman and contented creator, spent astir a twelvemonth bringing the task to life. According to reports, the physique was completed mostly by manus utilizing a donor Panda from 1993. The extremity wasn’t simply to make a static show portion but a drivable conveyance that retained arsenic overmuch of the archetypal car’s quality arsenic possible.

Much of the 57.5-inch (1,460 mm) wide donor conveyance remains, and viewed successful illustration you could adjacent mistake it for a wholly modular Panda.

The archetypal gasoline motor evidently wasn’t going to fit. Instead, the ultra-slim Panda relies connected a compact electric powertrain fed by a brace of 12-volt batteries. Performance won’t occupation immoderate supercars. Top velocity is reportedly astir 9 mph (15 kmh), making it amended suited to leisurely demonstrations than mounting thigh records. This Panda isn’t approved for nationalist roads, and being truthful dilatory and – we’d ideate – liable to topple over, it’s astir apt amended that it stays distant from different traffic.

A Big-Foot Brother

The antithetic Panda made a nationalist quality astatine Panda successful Pandino past year, a gathering dedicated to Fiat‘s beloved metropolis car successful its location country. Unsurprisingly, it attracted plentifulness of attraction from visitors who’d astir apt ne'er seen a car with specified brainsick proportions.

Marazzi, whose different projects look to see a Big Foot-style, car-crushing Panda monster truck, is pursuing designation arsenic the narrowest car ever built, according to a study successful Design Boom from past year. It’s surely hard to ideate anyone gathering thing thinner, oregon however his adjacent task could beryllium adjacent sillier.
