The ultra-compact car, which only has one room, became a hot topic on social media, causing confusion among many Brazilians. Because it looks like a long, elongated version of the old Fiat Uno.
Unofficially named “MeiUno,” the car attracted attention for its nostalgic design reminiscent of Uno in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the model that became a hot topic was a modified European Fiat Panda car, handmade by Italian Andrea Marazzi.
This unusual project was presented at Panda a Pandino, the largest gathering of panda lovers, held in the city of Pandolino, Italy. Marazi came up with this idea as a personal challenge. I measured my chest, cut the original panda in half and welded it back to create an ultra-compact car with an outer width of just 50cm. This fully electric and practical miniature car delivers a maximum speed of 15 km/h and maintains original parts such as the dashboard, handlebars, seats, and trunks in a reduced size.
Its similarity to the Brazilian Fiat Uno is no coincidence. Both share roots and practical styles of the 1980s. While Uno was released in Brazil in 1984, the Panda debuted in Europe in 1980 as an economic vehicle for urban use.
Despite the confusion, the car on the talk is certainly a customized European panda, known as the “slender panda in the world”, made for single passengers and attracted attention on the internet.
