With the increased media attention on the eco-friendly benefits of smaller cars all over the world, it comes as no surprise that the smallest car ever made will be entering production once again!
That’s right, the 1962 Peel P-50 is coming back, for a small production run of 50 new cars. The 50 cars are expected to sell out fast with the media attention the car has acquired from having spotlight slots on world renouned programmes such as Top Gear, where over 6 foot giant Jeremy Clarkson drove to work at the BBC in a blue Peel P-50 for the show.
Here’s some stats to help further demonstrate the micro-ness of this microcar!
Wheelbase – 50 inches
Total Length – 52.8 inches
Height – 47.2 inches
Weight – 130 pounds
At just 47 inches high, you’d be right in thinking we’re surely in toy car sizes now, and no full grown man could fit inside, but if Jeremy Clarkson can do it, so can you!
The new Peel P-50’s are expected to cost around £12,499 a pop, so not cheap, but a relatively small price to pay to own the smallest car ever to have been in production. The new cars will use an electric powertrain instead of the scooter engine used previously.
Oh, did I mention the car also features one, yes one door, and an inability to reverse, unless you fancy jumping round back and pulling on the grab bar at the back?
