For the past few years, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the case of the shrinking car, being especially fond of the increasing fuel economy that accompanies smaller sized vehicles. And today, we’re taking a closer look at the smallest car we’ve seen yet; one that offers the added bonus of an electric powertrain, too.

The Tango—on display at last week’s SEMA show, an automotive specialty trade show in Las Vegas—mirrors the smart in length, but features a doozie of a difference in width. The svelte two-seater (one seat in each of two rows), is only slightly wider than three feet, making it ideal for the urban commuter. A very successful urban commuter, that is. The tiny trike weighs in at roughly $150,000.
So what’s the lowdown? Tango will travel approximately 120 miles per full charge and go from zero to 60 in four seconds (impressive, no?). Because of its sturdy cage and bottom-packed battery pack, the narrow mobile keeps from toppling sideways when sliding into a tight street side parking space. Priceless. Almost.
