Hayabusa-powered Smart Car!

**Tim Kreitz** · 05-14-2008, 02:09 PM

The turbo version goes 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Can you imagine toasting Mustangs and Corvettes from red light to red light in this thing? I'd like to have one for that purpose alone!

Try that in a Mustang or a Vette!

I would think heat might be an issue in the cockpit...

It would be cool to see a racing series based on those!

How about a 650hp W12 in a Golf?

It's like saying, "My wife's a supermodel, but she looks like a traffic warden."

If the Ferrari driver could have actually had a decent start rather than just sitting there reving his engine....

70 - zero in a smart car

Astounding force against that concrete. Wow.

It actually did a lot better vs. the Mercedes that I would've thought.

LOL that made my week, I can't stop laughing.
I wouldn't want to be in either of those cars hitting the cement wall. Both looked like the driver's legs would have been crushed, if not ripped off.

I don't think it matters much what you were driving, the deceleration from 70 to 0 in a second is going to scramble your insides.

I prefer my insides poached

Ain't that what "crumple zones" are for? lol

Anyone notice that in the Smart car crash into the cement the windshield wipers were on....ya know, so the driver could see. I'm kind of curious as to why the second car had a crash dummy in it and the Smart did not.

I'll just stick to driving my Tundra and letting little smart cars crumple into it
