Outside the Box Thinking: The Lowest Lowrider

Remaking a street car into a hot rod requires a lot of engineering and mechanical talent. That's just as true for remaking a car into a lowrider, which involves modifying a vehicle's suspension to lower its body closer to the ground.

Making a car into a lowrider however comes with big question. How low can they go?

Carmagheddon, a group of Italian car hackers, took on the challenge of finding out what it would take to make the lowest of lowriders. The following 11 minute video reveals how they truly took it to the next level by customizing what looks like a go-cart chassis for their modified Fiat Panda:

The next video shows it in action!

You would never want to chance hitting a speed bump or pothole while driving their lowrider, but that's also true of the vintage Fiat Panda from which it's been made. All the same, it's a work of inventive genius for how they solved the challenges of making what could well be the world's lowest driveable lowrider.
