My estimate is you would have to buy a motor in europe and ship the darn thing here to swap into a US made car.

Like the smart the US 500 will probably get 20mpg less than the one in Europe.

Which model do you have ? The Sambar , R2 or the 360/450 ?

I guess ultimately someone could bring the engine over and have it swapped.
