A Smart ForTwo Cabrio with a very fatass body kit, seen riding a street in the great city of Xiamen in Fujian Province. The kit is plastic fantastic and makes the vehicle some 20 centimeters wider. Double tow eye loox very racy. Considering quality & madness this kit is almost certainly Chinese. Well, it makes that Smart a tad more impressive! Some earlier notable Smarts in China: shiny green, ForSpeed, super wide, pink, Hello Kitty, and Bling.

A great combination of vehicles, seen in the Sanlitun embassy district in central Beijing by reader Ali Khalili, thank you for the picture! Across the street a real Smart ForTwo, in front a Shuanghuan Noble. Oh no now I mix them up, it’s the other way around. Shuanghuan always said the Noble wasn’t a copy of the Smart because it had the engine up front. Indeed…

Spotted in China: Smart Roadster
Published on November 9, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
A fine red Smart Roadster seen in the great city of Putian in Fujian Province. The Roadster was made from 2003 until 2006 but was never officially exported to China, how this red example ended up all the way in Putian is therefore a mystery. Still, we are happy to see it because the Smart Roadster was one of the coolest little sportcars ever made. Very light, engine in the middle, and rear wheel drive! Mercedes-Benz killed the Roadster and Roadster Coupe after only 43.000 examples were made, because the warranty costs were deemed to high. A very sad end for a very great car…

The Smart ForSpeed is an electric concept car that debuted on the 2011 Geneva Auto Show, but no matter how cool it loox it will likely remain just another funny idea. China, moves faster! A toy maker from Zhejiang Province has developed a fine toy car for children based on the ForSpeed’s design. It is called ‘Happy Ding’, seats two and it is electric powered. Smart better take note!
Smart ForTwo gets super wide in China

An extremely wide Smart ForTwo seen on a tuning show in the great city of Dalian in Liaoning Province. Big body kit, lowered suspension, and 17 inch low profile tires with racy alloys. Good car! Color a bit questionable, some vague shade of green, would have been better in black, red or white, maybe yellow, or pink.
