Mitsuoka Motor, a Japanese company, has just unveiled a micro kit car "K-4", equipped with a 50cc engine on its classical tested sports car body, developed for the do-it-yourself customers in Tokyo. It is composed of more than 500 parts and takes approximately 40 hours to assemble. The Kit-Car measures just under 2.5 meters (eight feet) long and can run at up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) an hour. The expected cost of each of this vehicle is US $6,460.

With a 50cc engine, that means in many countries a teen as young as 14 years old can ride with it on public roads. As if we need more hazardous drivers on the roads nowadays.(sarcasm) :D

Fancy Kart.

I want a mini-monster-truck version, now that would be cute.

I mean really, what do you do with it? Drive it to your real car?

Yeah, that's a go-cart. You take your 10 year old down to the track to zoom around in that thing, early Saturday morning.

Needs a roll bar, less bling, and about $4500 off that price.
