Due to the light weight, great MPG, less wear and tear on the roadway, etc, I believe that there should be huge tax exemptions for people to buy a car like this. Imagine if the roadways were full of commuters driving these? We could be in the passing lane and all get to work in half the time, and everyone would be in an excellent mood ready to work much faster. I think there are a lot of benefits, not to mention no distracted driving, no texting, no calls, no eating while driving. This car makes you concentrate, plus, there is room in the back seat area for your briefcase or jacket!!!

youd get crushed by all the guys in big trucks and SUVs, thats why its not common.

Smart cars actually beat almost every pontiac or chevy sedan built in the same era

Thanks for taking us through this car. These videos are great. I'm often up at night with pain etc from a Neuro disorder. I have to run the audio down low but, they are a great distraction. For someone who misses driving and especially having a bike; I get to vicariously enjoy something I still love. Used to ride my bike to all my nat guard drills on purpose before I was deployed so I'd get several hours on the road. Hearing that Yamaha go really brought that back. Great medicine .

My car basically acted like a cheese grater, I flew up and smashed my head into the glass roof, right butt cheek landed on the center console while driving down the highway. A semi driver behind me said I got about 12" of air. Didn't do any noticable damage except for the hoof mark on the bumper cover and some meat in the rear wheel.

I really would like to see something the size of a utv with lower suspension and a motorcycle engine. Yamaha has the yxz 1000 utv and I bet it wouldn't be hard to Change the suspension and give it a lighting kit and sell those for a bit more than the price of current utvs.

Corey Stryker nope the slingshot uses a Audi engine and KTM makes a track day car but it uses the audi s3 engine. I think both were missed opportunities especially so for KTM. I feel like KTM could have easily made a V4 that matched the Audi power, really they just need a larger version of their V4 racebike engine.

The Light Car Company Rocket, heard of this on PGR4, a game that was solid, but the last racing game from Bizzare Creations. May they be forever remembered in the hearts of racers who knew of the Project Gotham Racing series. Thank you for revisiting this gem, Jay.

over 200 bhp/ 1000cc, car engines also have a longer stoke, which is why they do not rev as high as a motorbike
