The rather pretentiously named Smart #1 (or ‘Hashtag One’), represents a big change for its maker.
Since the 1990s, Mercedes-backed Smart has been best known for its cute looking, two-seat city cars, which weren’t much cop to drive and failed to turn a profit. Electric versions with limited ranges did not turn the tide either, and there are rumours that the trad Smart is likely to be pensioned off next year.
