Although the handmade car built by Austin Coulson in Texas, USA is only 63.5 cm high, 65.41 cm wide and 126.47 cm long, it looks more like a childrens toy car, but the headlights, turn signals, Windshield, wipers and horn are all included. It’s because of these sophisticated features that the car received a Texas license plate that says “IM BIG.” At the same time, this car also became the worlds smallest legally roadable car in the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records.
Don’t underestimate this car. It has been classified as a low-speed vehicle by the Texas government, which means that when driving on local roads, the maximum speed cannot exceed 40 kilometers per hour. Coulson himself does not recommend that everyone drive at "speeding". He said, "Although this car can reach a maximum speed of 53 kilometers per hour, because there is no suspension system, the speed is like 100 kilometers per hour. Its terrible!"
The fuel tank capacity of this car is approximately 1.89L, and the cruising range is 36 kilometers. Currently, Coulson and his fiancée have driven this car for more than 160 kilometers. "Every time I go out, I will get attention. Everyone will joke that it is too easy to find a parking space for this car."
Coulson’s dream since childhood was to one day break the Guinness World Record, and his love for machinery began to show from an early age. When he was 16 years old, Coulson bought a second-hand Ford Mustang, took the car apart and reassembled it according to the repair manual. The car that broke the Guinness World Record was also completed by himself from design to assembly, which made him quite proud. In addition to the appearance paying homage to the Hummer, the sides of the body are also painted with his grandfathers World War IIThe number of the ship in service.
