Do you ever squabble with your siblings about who's going to sit in the middle seat and get squished?

Well in this car, even calling shotgun makes for an uncomfortable journey.

That's because Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi has created the world's narrowest, driveable car.

Andrea's Panda per Uno - which means Panda for One - is just 50.2cm wide!

Whilst the car has taken the record for the world's narrowest, it definitely isn't the world's speediest.

The modified Fiat Panda has a top speed of 9.3mph. Which is probably for the best, as it's not the most stable going around corners.

Despite it's thinness, the car is not an empty shell. Inside the Panda per Uno there is a small electric motor, a battery pack and a shrunk down steering gear. Even the lights and turn signals work!

Andrea is very excited about winning the record, and says "being in the Guinness World Records book is an honour".
