Volkswagen Designed For Little People

01/31/12 -- Odd Articles

“Volkswagen Brazil has designed a little car for little people. The Volkswagen Mini-Gol is styled just like the Gol (VW’s smallest production vehicle), although it has been decreased in every dimension by around 30 percent.

All of the exterior and interior proportions remain the same to ensure the Mini-Gol remains as comfortable and functional as its big brother.” w/ photos
