During our modern times, size definitely matters especially when it comes to gadgets and electronic devices like mobile phones, iPod and MP3 players. Nowadays, smaller and thinner materials like those mentioned appear to be cooler and more in compared to bulgier and bigger ones.

It seems that this trend is also followed by car creators. A year ago, lots of mini hybrid cars came out of the market and showed their engine prowess despite their small size. Now, another prototype concept car is being polished to offer a new eco-friendly urban vehicle. Designer Ignacio Garcia with his teammates is currently working on the M-112, the small but terrible car. Garcia’s team has been a part of the EcoCustom team that participated in the recent Shell Eco Marathon 2008.

Ignacio, who is a Spanish designer, aims to show that the use of super small cars is not embarrassing. It actually gives drivers the convenience of looking for a parking space plus public highway workers no longer have to problem the road widening issues.

To make car users more attracted and interested with M-112, Ignacio’s team focuses on improving the car’s engine competence.
