Here we have an absolute gem & collectors item; a 2003 Smart Roadster 452 in one of its rarest forms. This car was never sold outside of Europe & only produced from 2003-2005. It was first introduced in the late 90's before receiving positive initial reactions in Frankfurt & Paris which led to its eventual production in 2002. It was based on a stretched platform of the Smart ForTwo & is intended to provide the driving pleasure of a unique sports car at an affordable price. In 2005 it was awarded the Fun Car Of The Year by Top Gear, who praised it. It is a light weight small sports car with a very efficient turbo engine. The weight distribution to the front & rear axle is 44:56 percent. It is not only a blast to drive but also said to be quite comfortable & suitable as a daily driver, it has 2 luggage compartments in the front & rear. The hardtop can be removed allowing it to be a targa styled sports car; it can be safely placed in the rear luggage compartment. Compared to the Smart ForTwo that we are used to seeing, this Roadster 452 has sporty close-stepped ratios that have been adjusted to increase engine power & vehicle performance. The unibody frame for the car is internally known as Tridion. The seller reportedly acquired the vehicle from its long-time original owner in Germany in 2019 when it had 86,370 miles / 139,000 km on the odometer. After a year-long search for a red example, the seller came across this one with great history & took all the necessary steps to bring it home. The seller reportedly flew to Germany to inspect & drive it, then brought it to the port where it was shipped to Halifax. The seller reportedly had an enclosed trailer deliver it to its current home in Ontario. The vehicle is accompanied by a binder full of service documents since day 1. It features some modifications including Brabus gauges above the center stack, an Alpine audio unit & a single cupholder. The seller has added roughly 21,200 miles / 34,000 km in the 5 years of ownership. It is part of a large collection of rare enthusiast vehicles. The vehicle is said to have been extremely reliable since the acquisition. The vehicle is currently Ontario certified & insured through Hagerty. It is powered by a 698cc M160 turbo inline-3 which is engineered by Mercedes-Benz spinning the rear wheels through a 6-speed automated manual transmission. It now shows 107,583 miles / 173,139 km on the odometer. We are thrilled to have this on Fast Car Bids; it is the 1st ever recorded online auction for this car in North America.
