10 Mobil Terkecil di Dunia
10. The Ford Ka
It may not look like it, but the Ford Ka's body has a smaller length, width and height than a BMW Mini Cooper. Who would have though the Mini wouldn't even make it into the top ten ?
The first Ka premiered in 1996, and was considered to be a modern day Volkswagen Beetle. They're still going strong in the United Kingdom, despite Europe's increasingly stringent emissions and safety legislation. Last month, Ford's CEO Alan Mulally stated that the company would not be taking the Ka to the U.S., as he didn't think American buyers would accept a Ford model smaller than the Fiesta.

1. The ElBil Norge Buddy Cab
Last but not least (except in size), is the ElBil Norge Buddy Cab, a Norwegian electric car. It is the sixth generation of a model called the Kewet, developed for the first time in 1991. During the first five generations over 1000 electric vehicles were produced and sold in eighteen countries. In 1998 all rights were acquired by ElBil Norge AS. Strange that the Buddy Cab comes from Norway, considering Scandinavians are known for being tall.
