microcar
Pocket-sized vehicle
A microcar is an extremely small automobile, typically with an engine under 1 liter and seating for one or two passengers.
These vehicles emerged in Europe after World War II when fuel was scarce and materials limited, offering affordable basic transportation.
Modern microcars appeal to urban drivers seeking easy parking and fuel efficiency, though they sacrifice cargo space and highway capability.
The narrow streets of Rome are perfect for a microcar.
