The Canta is a type of car. Just barely.

It looks (and sounds) more like a Go-Kart that has a full body attached.

The Canta, developed as a joint venture of Waaienberg and TNO, is aimed for handicapped people to give them greater mobility, and each car can be customised so as to accomodate the abilities of each owner.

There is another interesting fact about this tiny car. It is so small that it is allowed to drive on the bicycle lanes throughout the Netherlands. The first time you hear one of these nearing down behind you while you are on your bike can be a little unsettling though.
