Smart Roadster - Generation 1 (2003-2006)
SMART ROADSTER (2003-2006)
After the CityCoupe (later renamed the Fortwo) came the Roadster, which sparked the wave of new cars from the brand. Based on the stretched platform of the Fortwo, the Roadster aims for drop down driving for less, similar to those old British roadsters. No thanks to some warranty breakdowns, it was dropped years later worldwide.
