Default Well this is interesting :D



A prototype of the Roadster-Coup of German car builder Smart with a newly designed engine is seen is this handout picture made available Friday, July 18, 2003. Two standard three-cylinder engines have been joined to create a V6 Bi-Turbo with 1,396 cc engine capacity, power output of 125 kW (170 bhp) and torque of 220 Newton metres. (AP Photo/Smart, HO)"

================================



I'd buy that for say $18,500? yeah I know wishful thinking...

If they bring that version it will probably cost over 20K for sure. I'm guessing $25-28K...

Not sure if I want another medium fast 2 seater...

but it reminds me of the M shoe and it's turbo charged...

:dunno:

I don't think it would be in that range, it would have to be less than the C-class "sport" coupe.

Wow, 1.4L V6 Biturbo...

I could do without the center exit exhaust though...too much like the gay Boxster butthole exhaust.
