More to the point the ADO17 was the most advanced UK car of its period and had the strongest body in regards to torsional strength until the early 2000s. It won two rallies and car of the year (when it actually meant something).

The smartcar on the other hand is a barely controllable shoebox with a constantly vacuous transmission, a vehicle of a group of vehicles whose only redeeming feature that it invariably kills its occupants (thus improving the gene pool) in any form of even mildly serious accident - and to top it off, they made a Brabus version!
The only potentially more lethal vehicle would be a Riley Ditchfinder on worn kingpins and crossplies fitted with a flat plane crank supercharged Rover v8 - on a Welsh RAC rally stage driven by a 17 year old female "love island" fanatic. In the wet.
