Smartuki = Crazy fast 180 hp Smart

..They call the finished car the Smartuki. It?s the only one in existence and Z Cars is planning to offer it as an option. Does it run? 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds and tops out at 132mph. Definitely not your average Smart! Peter says running up to the traffic lights at 13,500rpm is always amusing since other drivers move over when they hear what sounds like a bike coming up fast. Autosport Magazine tested it against a Mistubishi Evo FQ-330. It didn?t win but fared better than the Subaru that tried a week earlier...

I wouldn't trust that car with a powerful engine. But if it works, what a sleeper!

Run Away

Hey, it's got an AVITAL alarm sticker on it, I have one of those.

Anyways, 130mph would be scary in a smart I think.

TBR

Pointless, high speeds would be very dangerous in something with that short of a wheelbase.

I'd rather see it in a Coupe/Roadster.

Have you ever stood next to a Smart car? That killed any sliver of desire I had for one.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

They're awesome. They're like bugs.

They're smaller than bugs. They're about the same size as my lawn tractor, except not as tall.

It probably gets better gas mileage, too.  I really want one of these for daily driving:





That second one is probably a whole lot of fun, too.

It's not a bad looking car except for the way they did the headlights.
