I saw a smart car the other night that was fapping rapid.
THe metal plate in the centre of the rear by the exhaust had Turbo etched out of it.

I have a feeling you can drop in the turbo engine in there from a Merc A130.
It still looked like a roller skate.

I used to drive around my sisters smart turbo(think it was 600cc turbo) it had a dump valve and the looks i got where quality, it felt pretty fast until i raced my mate in his 1.1 clio and lost.lol

Did they come turbo as standard then?

[Mazz]

Some did, the Brabus model is a 700cc twin turbo iirc..

They're not slow - I've been pootling along the M5 at 90 once and one almost overtook me! I say almost, as balls am I ever being overtaken by a Smart car... lol

I'm not sure I'd want to do 90+ in one though! Having said that, I saw a vid of either top gear or 5th gear where they drove one into a concrete barrier at 70mph-ish; it just bounced off it and was relatively fine! :eek:

I also saw that. they were saying that surprisingly its alot safer to be in an accident in than loads of new cars.
