THE world's thinnest car has been unveiled, measuring up at just 19 inches wide - making it more narrow than a motorbike.
Shocking footage showed the unprecedented vehicle being driven around town slowly by its creator as stunned bystanders walked alongside it.

The model - which is the same width as a standard pillow - and has been dubbed Panda for one for its tiny capacity.
The light blue car almost appears like a 2D cartoon due to how astonishingly thin it is.
It has just one headlight at the front, and what appear to be two tiny indicator lights to either side of it.
The car does, however, have four wheels - despite how narrow its body is.
The vehicle measures at just a third of the width of the Panda 141, the first rendition of the iconic car, and around a quarter of the new Grande Panda.
Its wheels are also extremely thin - but are no match for the incredibly tiny interior.
Inside the record-breaking car there is one front seat, but behind that is an extra back seat which could bring the bizarre car's total seat count to two.
There is only one door for the driver though, so anyone wanting to squeeze in the back will have to enter through the front door and climb in the rear.
The back seat would probably be big enough to only hold a child, and not another full-sized adult.
A black Fiat steering wheel sits ahead of the driving seat, while the car also features wind-down windows.
The car also has two poking out wing mirrors - which probably account for nearly a third of the car's total width.

In the viral video of the car, its owner jibed that his mum had put his car in the wash, causing it to shrink.
He said of his groundbreaking motor: "Look at this perfection."
But he proceeded to give tour of the incredible car with chairs the size of skis, a minuscule ventilation unit and a boot the width of a small microwave.
Unfortunately, the car cannot reach very high speeds - possibly due to its small electric engine.
Although its inventor did take the car for a ride to prove that it actually works, its top acceleration is limited.
Marazzi said: "Obviously it works, electrically it goes forward, backward, steers, brakes. Does everything."
It was unveiled as part of Panda a Pandino, the seventh rendition of the event which celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Fiat Panda from June 19 to 22.
Fiat Panda enthusiasts from Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal came to Pandino in Italy to participate and display variations of the model.
The mechanic who built the one-of-a-kind car is named Andrea Marazzi - who has created oher "extreme" models like this in the past.
One viewer commented on his YouTube video, calling the car a "work of art".
