Smart Limo In a Can
Just when you thought you had seen it all – a 17-foot long limousine based on the Smart Fortwo city car comes ‘round the corner. This rather unusual, to say the least, machine – named the Carbonyte Smaaart – was designed by the same people who unveiled a stretched Ferrari 360 last year.
The team, led by ex-McLaren man Chris Wright, Carbonyte took a standard Smart Fortwo and stretched the chassis by 2.7 metres to create the 5.1 metre limousine – but stuck with the car’s standard 600cc engine. Despite the increase in weight it’s claimed the Carbonyte Smaaart can still cruise comfortably at 80mph.
Originally designed as a promotional vehicle, the Carbonyte Smaaart has a 20:1 scale fibreglass replica can, complete with a ring pull which has a van-like storage space. The Smaaart can be liveried to any client’s needs and leased on a daily basis – or customised models can be built at a cost of about £25,000.
Chris Wright thinks the Smaart limousine will make a great promotional vehicle; it combines head-turning looks with the practicality of a van. He says the car has already had incredible reactions on the road, claiming that the vehicle has almost stopped traffic. It was the same reaction as they had with the twenty foot Ferrari 360, he says.
Limos are as much about being noticed as they are about being spacious, luxurious and comfortable. Have you ever wondered why reclusive celebrities drive around in limos with darkened windows so that they can’t be seen, only to step out onto the red carpet at some gala premier? They want to be noticed!
These days limos come in just about every shape and size imaginable. From the super stretched Hummers and SUVs to the more familiar prestige vehicles. There is a limo for any occasion. If you want to make an impression, convey an air of importance or stature, then a limo should be your first choice for transportation.
