Austin Coulson: The Guinness World Record Holder

Austin Coulson, an American resident of Texas, is a Guinness World Record holder for creating the smallest car in the world. When Austin announced to his family that he planned to build a car that would break the world record for its small size, his relatives were skeptical. No one believed Austin, as his idea seemed too ambitious - to beat a world record! Even when he was buying and assembling parts, people still didn't believe him: "This? It will drive like a real car? You're joking!" However, everything turned out exactly as Austin had envisioned - his car became the smallest "real" car in the world.

The Tiny Car with Full Features

Austin Coulson made sure that his microcar had everything it needed - it has a windshield, wipers, a horn, turn signals, and even seat belts. Thus, this small means of transportation became a full-fledged participant in road traffic legally, as all necessary requirements were met. The car even has a license plate - IM BIG. It runs on a single-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 110 cubic centimeters, with a fuel consumption of 2.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The car appears like a roofless military jeep, and Coulson painted the ship number on the side of the car on which his grandfather served during World War II.

A Guinness World Record Holder

Austin Coulson's car's dimensions are simply astonishing - this fully functional car has dimensions of 126.47 cm in length, 63.5 cm in width, and 65.41 cm in height. These dimensions were enough to receive an official record certificate in the renowned Guinness World Records. Coulson's car can reach a speed of 40 km/h, but it can be accelerated to over 50 km/h. Naturally, due to its size, it is not possible to get inside - Austin has to sit on top of the car, but the ride itself looks very entertaining. The small steering wheel, although almost cartoonish in Austin's large hands, handles its functions perfectly.

Achieving the Dream

Today, Austin Coulson's car is recognized as the smallest "real" car in the world. Austin is simply happy - on his way to the record, he had to endure a lot of ridicule and listen to numerous critics and advisors. His determination and passion for his project paid off, and he can now proudly claim the title of Guinness World Record holder for creating the smallest car in the world.
