The Smart car is a small city car made by Daimler AG which started production in 1998. The compact design is 2.5m long and based on an exposed steel safety cell.
The Smart City Coupé was replaced by the Fortwo in 2005 which continues the success of the original micro-car design.
The 600cc engine was increased to 700cc in 2002 then 1.0 litre in 2007 and many special versions and modified engines have made a niche market sports car from the original concept.
