It may look like a toy car for a small child but this miniature automobile – complete with an engine, accelerator and brakes – is one man’s solution to avoiding Shanghai’s gridlock.

Chinese inventor Xu Zhiyun, 60, is the brains behind the quirky car which took him two years to build at a cost of just £155.

Xu regularly drives it around the busy Shanghai streets, weaving in and out of traffic.

It measures just 23 inches in length, 13 inches in width and 15 inches in height, making it one of the world’s smallest cars.

Despite its diminutive size, the car has an engine, accelerator, brakes, front and rear lights, a horn and gears.

It also has enough room for a sound system teed up with 500 songs.
