The world's smallest car, the Peel 50, debuted on Monday at Ripley's Believe it or Not museum in Times Square, New York.
Designed as a 'city car' for Ripley's by the London-based Peel Engineering Company, the one-seater Peel Trident is battery-operated and travels about 64 km per hour. It weighs about 68 kg and costs nearly $25,000.
The Peel P50 is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest road legal car ever produced.
The Peel Engineering Company made a couple hundred gas-powered versions in the 1960s, but they never really caught on.
