Peel P50 is still holding a record for the smallest car in the world. It has only three wheels, one headlight, and one door, and it can carry only one person with a small bag. You cannot buy this car easily since there are only 27 of them still existing out of 50 from the original production. It may not be a practical vehicle regarding the fact that it doesn’t have a backward gear, so you need to reverse the car manually, and there is no space for many things, but it is surely different than any others.

When the airplane designer decides to design the car, you can be sure that that car will be something different. One of those cars is Messerschmitt KR200. It is a microcar with three wheels and only 500 pounds of weight, but the fascinating thing is the way you drive it. There is no driving wheel in this vehicle, so instead of that, you have a huge bar. It is probably much more complicated to ride since no one is used to it, but it must be a great experience.

When another airplane designer designs a car that is not micro, you get the airplane on the road.

Speaking about vehicles from the future, we can’t forget Oeuf Electrique. This microcar is from 1942, and the most intriguing thing is that it is not using gasoline, but electric batteries. The other interesting thing is the exterior material. The designers were using aluminum and Plexiglas, which wasn’t that usual at that time. Today electric cars are something natural and typical, but at that time, it was something from the future. Even the bubble look was futuristic.
