A Ukrainian customs vehicle enthusiast has given a small city motor a hulking makeover, proving that a usually timid Smart car can be transformed into ferocious off-road beast with just a few tweaks.

Gerogiy Kosilov used parts of Volkswagens, Hondas, and Mitsubishis to soup up the tiny car so that it can now plough through dirt roads and heaps of muck. 

A YouTube post showing the dwarf off-roader in action proves that its small stature is no restriction when it comes to taking on the great outdoors. 

Adapted with large 4x4 wheels and a super flexy suspension, not to mention a more powerful turbo diesel engine, the Smart car can be seen making light work of traversing waterlogged ditches and rough forest terrain.

Its compact design also makes parking easier if you’re ever stuck in a tight spot between a rock and a hard place.
