The Smart ForTwo is a very common sight on European roads, and
since there are so many of them, you will also get a chance to see some
modified cars, with bike engines, widebody kits, lowered suspension,
funky paintjobs and so on.
However, they all pretty much follow a basic pattern of what can be done, and the extent of their modifications is rather limited. Well, not with this Smart, which has been turned into a Dakar Rally-ready off-roader, which really looks the part.
The car has been completely reengineered, and it gets fully independent front and rear suspension, with lots of travel, a wider track both front and back, and subtle body modifications. Its builder, Jose Luis Alvarez says it is extremely light, tipping the scales at just 750 kg, or 1,653 lbs.
The plan was to enter the Dakar Rally, with a two Smarts like this, plus a Honda CRF-450. However, Alvarez does not have the necessary funds at the moment, and so far the racing plans have been put on hold.
