This Telo MT1 minitruck shocked and inspired with a fine display of drifting when it came face to face with a racetrack, and it’s performance was nothing short of inspiring.
The US equivalent of the Japanese Kei truck is one tiny and impressive beast and alongside being small and mighty, apparently it also comes with some impressive drifting skills too.
This is the video that nobody knew they needed, and the truck really shows off every single bit of its 300 horsepower.
At the moment, this truck is the only example of it’s kind, but when it goes into production, you too can enjoy all the all-wheel drive has to offer.

The Telo MT1 minitruck is taking the world of tiny trucks by storm, piggybacking off the popularity of cheap EV Japanese Kei trucks, but this time it’s all-American.
With a 350 mile range and the footprint of a two-door Mini Cooper, this Telo MT1 truck is tiny, but mighty and is one of the weirdest looking little trucks we’ve seen.
Even though it is so small, the electric minitruck offers five seats and a five foot bed for hauling all of your tiny equipment.
A surprising feature this truck comes with, however, is the apparent ability to put on a very fine display of drifting.
In a video released by the automaker, it shows the little truck with big dreams effortlessly drift with the precision and accuracy of a high-end supercar.
The minitruck uses all 300 of its horsepower to put on quite the display and even with the all-wheel drive model, you’re able to enable ‘drift mode’ which it has for some reason and it disables the front motor.
This Telo MT1 minitruck is currently the only prototype that exists, but hopefully when it hits American markets for anyone to buy, everyone can show off their tiny hauling and tiny drifting skills.
