DaimlerChrylser were obviously trying to awaken their inner child when they produced their tallest Smart, which the company describes as a ForFour with monster truck ambitions. The tyre fitment is just ludicrous – BFGoodrich rubber on 26-inch rims with a diameter of 140 cm. Not to mention ground clearance of 65 centimetres and an unbelievable total height of 3.7 metres!

The car features an OM 352 six-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 5,675 ccs. It delivers an impressive 84 bhp – the diesel version of the production car has a 41 bhp engine.
