Did You Know?
- The idea behind the car was to create a vehicle easy to park and short enough to allow “nose-in” parking. Its length of 250 centimeters would equal the width of a regular parking slot, allowing two or three Smarts to park in the same space as one normal car.
- The project, started by Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch, was nicknamed the “Swatchmobile”. The name Smart is an acronym for Swatch Mercedes ART. Intended to use innovative features (such as a hybrid engine) and be affordable for young people, the Smart had similar design objective to the Citroën 2CV of the 1940s.
- The waiting time for a Smart Car in January 2009 was approximately 12 months, however as of July 2009 there was no wait to obtain a vehicle and dealers have them in stock for immediate delivery.
- The main structure of the car is a stiff structure called a Tridion Safety Cell, which is designed to activate the crumple zones of a colliding vehicle. This design creates a very strong safety cell around the passengers.
- In American tests using a five star rating, Smart cars received a four star safety rating for the driver from a front impact, and a five star safety rating for the driver for a side impact.
