The smart fortwo may not be known for being big, but an event at Mercedes-Benz World proved any doubters wrong after 13 adults got in the car.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the smart, visitors to Brooklands for the smart Destination event had the chance to cram into the car.
Drivers and passengers of 1,200 smarts attending the event were invited to see how many people could fit into the car.
A group calling themselves the ’smart car-tortionists’ were able to fit into the vehicle despite the fact that it measures just 2.7 metres long by 1.6 metres wide.
One of the gymnasts, Iona Luvsandorj, who has appeared on the Britain’s Got Talent TV series, said the group exceeded the crowd’s expectations by cramming 13 people into the car.
“The interior of the smart is tardis-like,” she explained.
The event celebrated the smart and followed the news that the smart cdi diesel model will be coming to the UK.
British drivers will be able to get their hands on the new model in February when it is produced in right-hand drive.
