VW Mini Gol, Small Car for Little People

Volkswagen has been producing in Brazil, since the 1980s, a low cost subcompact called Gol. Slotted under the Fox and the Polo, the model gave birth in 2008 to the Mini Gol, a version which is around 30 percent of the size of the original and, what do you know, perfect for people suffering from dwarfism.

Only two such vehicles were built by the German manufacturer in Brazil and have been mainly used as show cars at auto events across Brazil. One of them is currently to be seen (and more) in the Beto Carreiro World theme park in Santa Catarina.

What's so exciting about it? Well, first of all, its size, of course. Secondly, the powertrain. The model is propelled by a 5.5 horsepower engine and can reach a top speed of 27 km/h (17 mph). To fit in it, you must be at most five feet tall (1.5 meters).
