Most car enthusiasts want to have the newest, fastest, and slickest car on the road, but a school in Japan took on a different challenge when building their record-breaking electric car.

Meet Mirai, the world’s shortest car. This electric car was designed and built by a group of Japanese students and teachers from the Okayama Sanyo High School in Asakuchi. Their car, which has been officially accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records, is road legal, though the drivers who have taken Mirai for a spin typically are not comfortable with taking it out on the road.

The car’s design is pretty amazing, but what makes it more amazing was that the students insisted that it should be electric because they wanted to be environmentally conscious. Considering how the major car manufacturers have had such a tough time getting electric cars to catch on, perhaps they should consider encourage these kids to continue pursing automotives and come work on electric cars when they finish school.
