lol... Botsapper's entry is even better than the "1g Insight painted to look like a Smart" that I was cooking up.

Piw,
Curious what's so aero-special about the Cultus/Swift/Metro (+ Smart). To me it is a very conventional two-box hatchback. It's high FE is because of its very low weight & three-cylinder power. I was going to try to make a Smart-etro but there was nothing special about the shape/s.
By the way, I've always been intrigued by the famous Bucky Fuller's Dymaxion. The PSed 'Smartera' was a logical 'knock-on-the forehead' Frankentstein experiment. Putting together a clean but very compact front-engine compartment/passenger cabin with a beautifully formed tapered end. This could be a tribute to that 'ahead-of-its-time' aero-form.

Thanx Diesel J,
Everyone has been sketching this on their notebooks, napkins, dirty windshields & shower doors for many of the ecomodders in this site.
Someone has to put it together.

Love the Smartera. It is very feline in profile. Looks like a stretched cougar's head and neck or something.
