SMART Z car

[Matra et Alpine]

This has got to be the craizies transplant of a bike engine into a car yet.

Take an ugly, slow bug and make it evil...... 0-60 in under 6seconds and could maybe go faster but it looks like it wants to wheelie !!!

Two crazy video clips at that site, just listen from the inside at http://www.smartsrus.com/images/evil-twin_z-cars/DSCF0248.AVI whre they make that thing go 0-118mph ! No aerodynamics here :)

I'd love one just for the fun of pissing off all the boy-racers in the TESCO car park on a cruise night :)

( Z-cars do Lotus 7 rep upgrades and have developed a TWIN bike ingined Mini - real one - that is road legal ! )

Hmm, it does for me :)
BUT, sorry I've just realised it's 8Mb so it will take a long time for anyone on dialup.
Maybe if you just leave it, it will complete.

AWESOME !!!!
I'm not a fan of the SMART cars, but I have thought the roadster has potential with an engine to back up its looks.

That is soooo cool :) I liked the Smart a lot before I actually got into cars, and this is the best I've seen it yet, other than the Brabus V6 Coupe :)

If you can keep the speed up through corners it's quite lively. It takes a committed line in to make it fly. Brake-point-and-squirt just doesn't work.

Now, with 2 bikes engines pushing it along, hmmmm :)

Yeah the bike engined one sounds interesting!

You're right! I've never realised it before..
