At just 54.3cm, the British-built Flat Out is recognised as the world's lowest car, and it's heading for Australia.

Built by custom-car creator Andy Saunders in just three days, the car is scarcely taller than its tiny tyres, yet is fully driveable. It will be a star of the Melbourne motor show which opens on March 2. It will be displayed by premium

in-car infotainment company Eclipse, along with state-of-the-art Eclipse audio, video and navigation systems. Flat Out is the second Saunders car to visit Melbourne after the Future X-2000 appeared at the 2000 show.

To put Flat Out's height in context, an original Mini is almost two-and-half times its height at 135cm, and a current Mini towers over it at 142cm.


Saunders chose a Fiat 126 as his donor car because it has the lowest engine height he could find, with a tiny water-cooled two-cylinder engine snuggled neatly in the back.
