The 3-cylinder produce 70 horsepower which takes it to a maximum speed of 90 mph. I have heard people describe them as lawn mowers with windows as well as a purse car; definitions that I wouldn't argue with.
Watch it on the quarter mile with a Ferrari F430:
Ooops! forgot to mention a little detail about it, because the car is so light people customize them with a hayabusa engine in it. Now this is what I call a dictionary definition of the word sleeper. A 2nd generation hayabusa engine puts out a cool 172 horsepower while weighing only 220 pounds with all fluids, electronics, etc. Here's another video of a smart with a busa engine on it.
I bet next time you see one of these on the street you'll think twice before revving your engine at it, huh?

Now i dont like the smart car, but i love sleepers. This is a textbook example of sleeper. COuld u imagine puttin the ghost riders 499hp busa setup ina smart car?? ahem, sorry just drooled a little bit. still the embarassment of havin to be seen gettin in and out the car might not cancel out the look on ppls face when they get left by like 5 car lengths. so enhhh....
I can't help but agree with that statement. I don't think that the blondie in the Ferrari's passenger seat will be eager to jump in the smart regardless of how many car lengths the car/bike/toy pulls.
