A Smart Car weighs approximately 1,500 pounds. The vehicle is approximately 8 feet long, less than 5 feet wide, and 5 feet tall. Smart Car is also referred to as Smart Fortwo. This vehicle has been manufactured since 1998.
In Germany, Smart Cars are a member of the Daimler-Benz auto family. Despite their diminutive size and light weight in comparison to other passenger vehicles, Smart Cars perform exceptionally well in crash tests. Smart Cars survive a 70 mph crash test without damage. This is due to the Tridion steel safety shell that encloses the vehicle’s interior and makes up the majority of its chassis. A crumple zone in the car’s front reduces the impact of a collision. The engine of the Smart Car is positioned in the rear of the vehicle.
