The Microlino is the funniest car you can drive – it’s the modernized yet tiny version of the BMW Isetta that once saved BMW from bankruptcy.
Its upgrades include an LED strip under its windscreen, LED lights on the front of the rear-view mirrors and a rear tail brake that’s reminiscent of the Porsche 911 922.
The Microlino’s boot space is impressive for such a compact car, with 230l of space for luggage—which matches most sports cars.
Worried you’ll feel claustrophobic? The huge sunroof should help, providing plenty of air to the compact cabin, though it has nothing on the world’s largest Hummer.
Plus, with an unexpectedly classy bottom-operated door that’s just as classy as a Rolls-Royce, it’s a car with multitudes despite its diminutive stature.
