What color is your second car...... I see you have a 451 AND a turbo (must be a 450)?

nope only the one smart,

as pictured <---

but i'll have a panel set in all them colors thanks.... a color change is almost as good as a new car...

and them specs are right as above although, now remapped bhp is 115 top speed is 180km/h and 0-100km/h is 9.5 all measured.... cant wait to put on this aftermarket exhaust i have here and tweak the mapping to get a few more hp out of it... speed limit can be raised but i'm fine with the current limit.

whats the specs dont say is the 8L/100km city fuel usage... or approx 2L/100km more then the non turbo.. but it is worth it!

aside from that though, there is still quite a few yellow here in aus for sale, and i dont know what they are going to do with all the cars on the smart stacks/towers when it's time to sell them considering they will be approx 2 years old and outdated by then!

The "right hand drive" gave it away for me.......

Now that is a bright red. Really pretty. That is what the one I ordered will look like when ever it comes in but I think I like my purple better. Might have to get those panels for a change sometime.Thanks for sharing.

Grey gives the smart it's most conservative look. Maybe smart is wooing older buyers who presumably have more disposable income.
