The lowest lowrider Volkswagen Beetle goes viral for being as comically low as a car can go to the ground and still be drivable, mostly because it’s a go-kart.
No, this VW Bug is not a video game car that’s glitched into the ground; it’s a real-life drivable car created from a Volkswagen that has been chopped in half lengthwise.
While it looks like a real car, the lowest lowrider is actually a tiny go-kart with half a Volkswagen Beetle body on top.
When it’s being driven by its creator, he has to essentially lie down flat and steer from there. So it’s probably not the most comfortable ride ever.

The lowest lowrider Volkswagen Beetle is still drivable
When you see this car, you’re going to think ‘OMG what did they do to Herbie?!?’ as it looks like this Volkswagen Beetle has glitched into the ground like a poorly rendered video game prop.
While it looks like someone chopped the bottom half of Herbie’s body and all his wheels off, this lowest lowrider is actually, shockingly drivable.
The VW Bug isn’t a normal car with an engine or seats or even proper windows. It has the base of a normal go-kart with the top half of a VW Beetle attached.
The driver has to lie down flat
The creator of the lowest VW Beetle is called Blake Parsons, and in order to drive his tiny bug around, he has to lie down flat and steer from there.
In addition, the doors don’t open properly. So Blake has to climb out of the rear paneless window. And while it does speed around, it won’t do it at the speed of a motorized car, more the speed of a fast go-kart.
Commenters on videos of the car found the car hilarious, with one saying:
“I’m lagging, ima restart my game.”
While this go-kart-turned-VW bug won’t be winning any speed races anytime soon, it will certainly beat anything at car-limbo, so we guess that’s a win.
