For those who don’t know about the Smart Car, let me tell you, that ‘Smart’ is the brand and logo from smart Automobile (stylized and marketed as “smart“), which is a German automotive marque and division of Daimler AG, based in Böblingen, Germany. It ranges in microcars and subcompacts, primarily the Fortwo and Forfour. The design concept for the company’s automobiles began at Mercedes-Benz in the early-70s and late-80s. After brief backing by Volkswagen, the first model was released by Daimler-Benz in October 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original being the “Fortwo”. smart derives from cooperation with Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART.
It looked like a very nice car to drive, having good protection ratings, however, in an April 2009 40 mph frontal offset crash test between a Fortwo and a Mercedes C-Class, “the Smart went air-borne and turned around 450 degrees” causing “extensive intrusion into the space around the dummy from head to feet”.
The IIHS rated the Smart Fortwo “Poor,” noting that “Multiple injuries, including to the head, would be likely for a real-world driver of a smart in a similar collision.
These wrecked smart cars are proof of the intensity of the impact of collisions with other robust cars, which look collateral.
