Amazing! The world's narrowest Jeep that actually drives and drives, and has an engine with incredible power
Morocco’s National Automobile Museum is famous for its collection of exceptional vehicles, but one section stands out even more: the one dedicated to unique and curious off-roaders. In this area of the museum, visitors will find everything from K5 Chevy Blazers in impeccable condition to military vehicles and customized Jeep Wranglers that, to say the least, draw attention to their creativity and eccentricity.
Jeep Wrangler transformed into a mini Off-Roader
One of the most surprising vehicles in this collection is a Jeep Wrangler that was cut in half and reassembled in an unusual way. The result It's such a narrow Jeep that the front lights are practically glued together, separated by only about an inch.
The vehicle, so thin that the spare tire seems to be almost the size of the entire body, causes surprise and laughter at the same time.
- New popular car costing R$60 is a success, surpassing Onix, C3, HB20 and others to become the CHEAPEST new car in Brazil
- Will fines be issued? Average speed radars are being installed in different locations in Brazil
- New Law means that obscene gestures in traffic will result in heavy fines and loss of points on your driver's license
- New generation of the Hyundai Tucson: the national hybrid SUV that does up to 33 km/l arrives in Brazil with 252 hp of power
With capacity for just two occupants arranged in tandem seats (one behind the other), the “Jeep Half” allows for a passenger right behind the driver, which makes the driving experience a bit claustrophobic.
Despite its reduced size, it's impressive to think that it still has four-wheel drive, allowing the little Jeep to conquer the dunes of the Moroccan desert with efficiency.
Curious engineering: The engine and the surprising traction
What powers this narrow Wrangler is still a mystery. Standard models of this generation typically feature 6- to 3,8-liter V3,6 engines, which seem too large to fit in the narrow front end of the vehicle.
One theory is that a small four-cylinder engine may have been adapted, possibly tilted upwards, as the large sloping hood suggests. This underscores the level of ingenuity of the creators of this vehicle: this is not just a fun design, but a functional mechanical adaptation.
Despite language difficulties, visitors can still appreciate the ingenuity behind the project, especially when seeing the Jeep in action in the desert, as in the video shared by Mohamed Saber. In one part of the video, you can see the two quirky Wranglers cruising through the desert, side by side, alongside a traditional model for reference.
The Double Jeep: Another eccentricity that attracts the public
Another fascinating vehicle in the museum is the “Double Jeep,” a stretched version of the Wrangler made by joining two nearly complete vehicles together to create an eight-passenger off-roader. This wide-body model is the opposite of the “Half Jeep” in terms of space and presence, offering a rugged, functional look that turns heads wherever it goes.
Compared to a creation from a science fiction film, this version of the Wrangler feels like something out of a daring David Cronenberg project, something that combines humor with impressive mechanical capability.
