That Smartera looks awesome Practical benefits too - think of the extra luggage space!

They are all cool in their own right, but I liked BC's the best. Looks like he lopped the nose and cockpit off a jet fighter

My vote is with the smartera.
Top notch work on that one !

The Kammback designs remind me of the Blackfly

So I'm not the only one who's heard of the Tango! Commuter Cars - The TANGO, ultra-narrow electric car for commuting; 0-60 in 4 seconds

Having passengers lined up instead of side by side seems to make so much more sense to me. Lower cd, easier to park (motorcycle style) you could even lane split in heavy traffic (in CA at least).
Even the automotive x-prize makes it a requirement that the passengers be side-by-side. I just don't see the advantage.

I realize the contest is over, but I'd like to see a smart which is half the width and twice the length.

So apparently now there's a smart fortwo design contest.

Prizes total 5,000 Euros "AND a lot of publicity and exposure." (!! Thanks, I'd rather the cash. )

Deadline is Feb 23, 2010.

Not sure if these super aero vehicles qualify, but here's the main web site for more info if anyone wants to dig deeper:

Smart Design Contest

[Laurentiu]

sorry for the awakening of a dormant topic but I was simply blown away by the "winner" entries for the Smart Design contest MetroMPG just mentioned I mean I understand it's an exercise of design but honestly none of the winning designs look too inspiring to me

"botsapper", you should've definitely entered this thing..

The contest was more for frou-frou graphic artists than 'car' design. The 'Smartera' would not have kept intact the Smart brand.

...besides, still waiting for the prize of this contest.
