That’s a start – combine it now with a smart car and you got the perfect city vehicle.
This is the two-person electric roadster ideal for errands or local commutes in temperate weather. Classified as a Low Speed Vehicle (check your local laws)–vehicles that travel no faster than 25 mph–its electric AC motor operates with 4,000 watts of power provided from six lead-acid batteries, providing a safe, maximum speed of 25 mph for up to 60 miles before requiring a recharge.
The car uses an automatic transmission and independent suspension for a smooth ride while the wide 71 1/4" wheelbase provides safe turning in all conditions. Four disc brakes provide confident stops. The body frame is durable steel and the front and rear fenders are injection molded plastic–door panels are open to the air. A steel roll cage spanning the passenger area secures a removable canvas rag top.

“the wide 71 1/4″ wheelbase provides safe turning in all conditions” -wheelbase does not refer to width, wheelbase is the length, distance from the centre point of the front to the rear wheel.
I think what the writer was meaning was the TRACK, the distance between the centre points of the wheels on one axle.
The car has a wheelbase barely longer, it seems, than its track. A vehicle this short would probably have an uncomfortably choppy ride.
The more you dissect copywriter blurb the less sense it makes….
