Volkswagen's new Pea Bug

The Pea Car was specifically commissioned for a TV commercial and designed to literally fall off, bit by bit!

Believe it or not, the structural integrity of the pea car was never in question, as it was actually designed to lose pieces during the production of the commercial. Twelve of the car panels were actually constructed with disassembly as their main goal. This included the exhaust pipe, hub caps, doors, rear bumper, sunroof, and those aforementioned wing mirrors from the specialist shop.

After all, the disassembly was included in the script for the commercial, so the car had to play the part. Because of its lack of structural integrity, the car itself is not street-legal, and therefore should not be driven on the roads.
