Two years ago my daughters soccer coach pulled up in a very small convertible
sports car. I asked him what it was and he said it was a Smart roadster. He
had borrowed it from a friend who was an automotive engineer. It may have
been a evaluation car which is not uncommon in the Detroit area. It was
powered by a 700cc turbo charged motor. The only complaint he had was there
was no room to carry the bag of soccer balls other than putting it in the
passenger seat.
You can see it at smart.com. It does 0 62mph in 10.9 seconds with a top
speed of 109mph. Not exactly pretty but certainly different.
