Smart Car monster truck is not for dummies (Guru)

Smart Car monster truck is not for dummies

August 6, 2007

Guru dropped into a local Smart Car dealership the other day to visit his cousin, who is currently working as a crash-test dummy.

Crash Test Dummy

While Guru got the brains and the beautiful blue skin, poor old Dummy got a thick skull and a bright orange complexion. Career options have been somewhat limited for the fellow.

Anyway, these Smart Cars are all the rage around London, with their funky designs, tiny dimensions and low-emission engines.

They can squeeze into parking spaces other cars can only dream of. But they're not much good off-road... until now.

While Guru was poking around the dealership, he came across an extraordinary machine - a Smart Car monster truck.

The Smart Forfun has the body of a normal Smart Fortwo mounted on a Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406.

Greek rally champion Stefan Attart designed and developed the 12ft-tall vehicle, implanting a six-cylinder 5.7-litre diesel engine.

Just like all the best car magazine photographers, Guru managed to take some grainy spyshot pictures of this strange hybrid vehicle:
