Smart: Pimped to monster wheels and 5.7 litre diesel engine

This is not according to the original idea of the Smart - a very compact micro-car for city traffic, is it? It's is somehow a crazy idea but not a really nice one. Maybe it is just to enhace acceptance in the U.S.?

It has a little more ground clearance (65 cm) an addtional engine (a 5.7 litre six cylinder diesel) and a better view- you sit almost 3 metres (10 feet) up. The original three-cylinder diesel is retained to turn two big wind-up keys in the back of the car.
