I want me one of those! cant imagine it will be very stable since they rock about with the standard engine :S

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

They should have put it in the roadster

 

[Hawk Tuah]

That sounds so good. It looks like its hammering the other cars.

Sounds simply fantastic. Would love it in a roadster.

 

[Sanzy]

love the sound

 

[bingham67]

The sounds good but with it being a new engine more powerful i wonder if it will fall over around the bends.

 

[rG-tom]

sounds fantastic...but i couldnt help but laugh, there is something funny about seeing a small car like that belt it down the straight

I'm actually a fan of the Smart car, I couple of guys at work have them for commuting and I was amazed but the size/comfort of the cabin for a car so small. I keep telling them to get a gsxr engine dropped in but none of them are having it.

 

[antc]

thats wicked. does anyone have an idea of how much that would actually cost to put into a roadster???

i really like the roadster but it could do with a bit more power. i saw one with 2x 600cc turbos in it i think it was, was on topgear, had like 300bhp if i remember correctly

if im wrong can someone correct me on what engines were in it

cheers

It was 2 smart engines welded together to create a V6 bi-turbo.

But that noise!!

 

[minidan]

0-60 in 4.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds and tops out at 132mph.

2 standard 3 cylinder smart turbo engines joined together in a V shape to make a twin turbo V6 with 170bhp (and all from only 1400cc ).

Shame that they only built a few specials and didnt put it into full scale production, it would have sold by the truck load (I'd definetly have bought one). A great car destroyed by too little power and too high a price .

I would take a westfield with a bike engine over that.

 

[minidan]

agree with mechanicle arts on the westfeild idea.

[minidan]

Car may have held up, but the impact force of it not crumpling would be transferred to your body. So not as safe as youd expect. But I certainly would be worried about safety in it tbh.

haha, while looking for the vid i foud this and must say its one of the funnyest cars i have seen drift!

Must be the difference in weight I reckon, no problem when its a smart car or a lotus elise, etc
