The original Smart Car made by Mercedes with turbo gas engine. This Series 1 Smart Car is 6 shorter than ones currently imported. This has a mercedes-built turbo gas engine, unlike current models which have Mitsubishi engines.

.[17] The Fortwo nameplate derives from its two-person seating capacity.[1] Until 2004, the Fortwo had been marketed as the smart City-Coupé.
In 2002, the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) introduced a first generation Fortwo into its permanent collection (the only vehicle to be included into the collection while still in series production), [14] and in 2014 the Fortwo was voted the Best Microcar for the fifth year in a row by readers of the Chinese edition of Auto, Motor und Sport.
In early 2006, prior to formal importation to the United States, a specialty firm—G and K Auto conversions of Santa Ana California received DOT, NHTSA, and EPA approval to market a modified European specification Smart Fortwo in the US. Modifications for the grey market vehicles included DOT certified headlights, front and rear side marker lights, reinforced doors for additional side impact protection, an odometer in miles rather than kilometres, and soft padding on the interior pillars and ceiling. Approximately 1, 000 model year 2004, 2005, and 2006 cars were imported.
