:lol:

For extra points search for Smart Diablo Hayabusa :smiley:

I noticed BOTH of the doors flew open and it nearly stood on it’s nose in the first one… It’s EASY to make a car skid…harder to make sure it stays CONTROLLABLE during emergency manuevers

I also can’t help but worry what that high CG will do when it gets passed by a semi…

I’ve seen them close up, i wasn’t very impressed. They may be ā€œSmartā€ but they FEEL cheap.

Mik, there showing ā€œdriftingā€ driving technics, they use slick tires so the cars can spin like that, and the doors were intended to open that way, its part of the show, as was the nose stand, its a motorcycle stunt, ever see the phrase ā€œDo Not Attempt Stunts, Professional Driverā€ ? :wink:

PS they have a very low center of gravity, these are well engineered cars, been on the roads and Autobahns in Europe now for over a decade. :smiley:

Smart cars are still wimpy.

Now that’s an improvement. That even looks like fun and if it fall over you could push it back upright. Maybe.

Hey are those Garden tractor tires on that?
