The Biggest and Smallest Vehicles Ever
The Biggest and Smallest Vehicles Ever
Vehicle ownership is a big deal, even if the vehicle you own is tiny, or gigantic for that matter!
AAA takes a look at some of the biggest and smallest vehicles ever produced. Have you ever owned an especially big or small vehicle? Share your story in the comments!
THE BIGGEST
BIGGEST CAR
The American Dream limousine was 100-feet-long from bumper to bumper. With 72 seats, a Jacuzzi, a helicopter pad, and two motors, this non-street legal oddity had to be driven by two drivers in two separate cabins, one in front and one in the back.
BIGGEST TRUCK
The world's biggest truck is the Belaz 75710 manufactured in Belarus for mining. The truck is the size of a twin house at over 67 feet long and 42 feet in width. The truck's payload is 450 metric tons!
BIGGEST VEHICLE
The largest vehicle ever is the Bagger 293, a giant bucket-wheel excavator manufactured in Germany. The Bagger 293 is 315 feet tall, 738 feet long and weighs 31.3 million pounds!
THE SMALLEST
SMALLEST CAR
Despite the rising trend of battery-powered microcars in recent decades, the smallest production car ever made hasn't been manufactured since 1965. The three-wheeled Peel P50 had no reverse gear, the driver had to get out and pull the car by a handle to maneuver it when necessary.
At 52.8 inches long and only 123 pounds, the Peel P50, which was manufactured on the Isle of Man, tops out at 38 MPH.
SMALLEST MOTORCYCLE
It really can't get any smaller than this: The Smalltoe motorcycle has a seat height of 2.55 inches, is 3.14 inches wide, weighs 2.4 lbs and a top speed of 1.24 mph! Clearly this vehicle is intended for very short rides only!
