the smart was mid engined infact, should have looked into this abit more before posting this topic, but hopefully the AC version will have a biger
engine cause haveing a roadster with a small engine is pointless

The new roadster will have the same mid-mounted 1.0 3cyl mitsubishi engine as the 2007 ForTwo. There will be 3 power outputs for the smart. 60ish,
70ish and 80ish. The small one will be N/A and the bigger one turboed. The AC Ace will have a manual box though.

The SMARTest move they could have made IMO.

someone needs to stick a bike engine in the back of one of those.
A manual box will be loads better for the smart roadster as the electronic sequential they use at the moment in far too slow. They handle pretty well
though.
