Default Coolest Golf Cart I've seen!... It had PA temporary tags on it.

I went with my brother to one of the Ducati Dealers to get his bike serviced.
We saw one of these cars in the parking lot and had a Pensylvania tag on it.

Guy who drove it says its only a 1 year temp tag and the car will have to be shipped back to Germany.

It was powered by a 3cyl 600cc motor and gets 50mpg and can cruise @ 80mph.

Just wanted to share what I saw.




Below is a link of a video I found over the internet.

It's a Mercedes Smart car. Very hot overseas. I've driven one here in MI- just like the one in that photo. It's wasn't superfast or anything, but it had a clutchless manual that made it loads of fun to drive.
The motor is under the package shelf in the rear of the car.
They also have a new coupe/roadster coming out...

This is the dealership...

That would be fun to drive on the greens. There would be tire marks everywhere. I am sure I would have it flipped by the end of the day..

I bet we could make it flip over if we dropped an NSX motor in the back of it... hehe I would be pretty scared at 80 in that thing... How fast you think the NSX motor would go in it??

I doubt an NSX motor will fit in it. If you sit in the car, right behind the driver's head is the rear windshield.
The car was like a pick-up cab without the bed and the hood.

If they do sell it here in America, and price is right, I might consider it because where I work, parking space is hard to find.
Which is also the reason why I drive a Honda hatchback....with a b18c.. hehehe

Yeah I know you were kidding, I was just talking about if it just got into a wreck. Actually, if you put the nsx motor in there (i know it can't fit) it would give you an extra crumple zone and your chances of living are probably better.

That's why DaimlerChrysler hasn't brought it here-yet...

This is the problem with the us. We are more than happy to make more suv's for soccor moms to plow over us with. Why not let a car like this use our roads ?

The Smart Car is much shorter(although taller) that the new Mini.
