Stretch Smart in the UK

This URL shows a 'Red Bull' stretched smart which I though was funny.

At some point I will figure out how to embed an image

Cheers

To embed a picture, just click on the postcard looking icon ("Insert Image") next to the envelope & paper icon. Then paste in your pic's web address into the address box and voila!

Body Mods courtesy of Adobe. (sunlit pavement visible through the middle wheel is the most obvious giveaway; the unusable rear door is another).
Still, neat photo and probably not physically impossible.
I could see something of the sort with two engine/transmission units...
(Reprogram one transmission to hold the same gear longer than the other and you'd completely eliminate the hesistation during shifting!)

Follow-up to my parting shot there -- actually, the Smart has more power than the early Vanagons (which had essentially the same engine as the '78-'79 Bus).
Hmmn... wonder if the Smart drivetrain would fit into a Vanagon engine bay?
