smallest drivable electric car

How do you allay your parking woes? You could walk or bike to your destination but sometimes, owning acar is just plain necessary. But the lack of parking space can be a huge hassle especially when you need to make multiple stops. Romano Artioli, ex-owner of the Lotus and Bugatti brands, has developed a tiny single-seater eco-friendly car that’s small enough to fit into an office elevator. Measuring just 1 meter in width and 1.5 meters in height, the Volpe weighs only 350 kg and can squeeze itself into the smallest of spaces.

Volpe, world's smallest car

So tiny is the Volpe that it can zip about your workplace and even fit in your office to be charged from your desk. The small car is meant for city commuters and though it doesn’t touch high speeds – just 30 mph max – it’s perfect for congested areas. There’s also not a lot of space for baggage but unless you plan to cram in plenty of goods, the Volpe makes the ideal small city car.

Volpe electric car

Volpe, world's smallest electric car fits in an elevator and can be parked and charged at your work desk.

Artioli worked with coachbuilder Zagato which is responsible for styling limited edition models of Aston Martins. The idea was to design a car that could help ease traffic congestion which is becoming a daily nightmare for commuters.

To further limit its size, Volpe sports scissor doors and a miniature motor that’s street legal as a quadricycle. This means that anyone who’s as young as 16 and has a motorcycle license can drive it. The eco friendly car will sell for about 5,600 pounds and is set to hit European markets by 2013.

The unique car has generated quite a buzz in online forums with many praising it for its aesthetics and functionality. As small as it is, however, it still doesn’t beat the record of the Peel P50 microcar which measures just 54 inches in length and 41 inches in width.

This is officially the world’s most dangerous road

When in Bolivia, this is one place you should avoid. This road, called Camino de las Yungas (alternatively known as Death Road), claims 200 – 300 human lives every year. Yet, the road is still in use.

Once can see many memorial crosses placed along the road.

And recently fallen trucks.

Inter-American Development Bank considers this road to be the most dangerous in the world.

The road is 69 kilometres (43 miles) long and connects the Amazon rainforest with the capital city of Bolivia, La Paz. It was built by prisoners in the 1930s.
