Smart Car Roadster - V6 Turbo

Smart Roadster-Coupe V6

To keep with the theme of "SMART" here you go:




Eight Smart roadster-coupés with higher power and higher torque engines took part in the celebration rally to mark '100 years of the Solitude race' (25 – 27 July 2003). Two standard three-cylinder engines have been joined to create a v6 bi-turbo with 1,396 cc engine capacity, power output of 170 bhp and torque of 220 Newton metres.

The prototypes are proof of the achievement potential and versatility of the production car concept. The bi-turbo engines serve to demonstrate the technology and underline the sporty handling performance of the Smart roadster and roadster-coupé. The cars entered in the Solitude rally had a power/weight ratio of just 4.9 kilogrammes per bhp, accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 220 kilometres per hour.
