Crumple zone? You are the crumple zone!It also doesn't feel very reassuring to drive a car where it feels like the pedals are hinged on the inside of the outer bumper shell.
I'll stick to my 5 meter wagon, thanks.

I understand that and maybe it's because I like lots of cars without many (or any) safety features, but I didn't feel unsafe in it. I was aware that I'm inherently more vulnerable but I wasn't intimidated by trucks, for example. I'd be just as happy driving an original Mini or a little open-top sports car like the original Elan. Being small definitely has its advantages sometimes. #TNWSS
The trick is not to crash.
I really, really hope this is real, and not photoshopped. Someone out there please tell me you have a video of this thing?
Isn’t there some Fifth gear thing about old big car vs new small car - which is safer? IIRC the newer smaller car turned out to be safer than the old Volvo which was made of concrete and cast iron....
Edit : here ya go
Naaaaaah.
It's amazing. I'm not sure if it's amazingly good or amazingly bad but it's amazing. I don't see why it wouldn't be real, it's just a Smart body dropped on a gasser chassis by the look of things.I really, really hope this is real, and not photoshopped.

I always wanted the Hayabusa swap in my Smart but in reality they apparently struggle with the low torque of the bike engine, it was never designed to lug something even as heavy as a Smart.Naaaaaah.
Motorcycle engine swap is much better:
