No. Got it from my dealer

A racing edition smart? Sort of an oxymoron at this point.

That photo looks like it is from the Penske Racing Museum! That place is pretty sweet, anyone else been there?

As an old road racer, I can attest to the principle that all cars were meant to be raced (some more successfully than others). If enough Smarts get sold in the U.S., I wouldn't be surprised if a new Showroom Stock class gets introduced for 1000cc and under.

From the 1954 Mille Miglia, where ISO Isetta's took 1-2-3 in their class.

LOVE those photos! This is a race I'd love to watch - has to be more entertaining than NASCAR.
