I paid $11,250 for the smallest car ever…is it legal?

Most people dream about powerful cars, but this strange little machine only makes about 13 horsepower and barely reaches 46 mph.

What followed was a loud, cramped journey that turned heads everywhere it went, with people laughing and pointing at the unbelievably small vehicle. Despite its size, the little car pushed forward mile after mile until something inside finally gave up. By the end of the trip, it proved one thing: sometimes the smallest cars create the biggest adventures.

Race hardware ends up in road cars through loopholes, homologation rules and wild ambition.
