This is not a toy car but a licensed car assembled by British constructor Perry Watkins, who is known for his ability to build strange vehicles. The 'Wind-Up' mini car is just 41 inches high, 26 inches wide and 51 inches long, but it has a top speed of 60 kph.
The assembled tiny car features a Shanghai Shenke quad bike chasis, a repainted children's ride body, and tires from Monkey Motorcycles. The Wind-Up mini car will be displayed at a motor show in Germany on November 27, 2010.
