The smart car fortwo comes with an economical 3-cylinder, in-line engine that is rear-mounted underneath the accessible cargo floor. But it also has these features:

• The engine powers the rear wheel drive of the smart car.

• This provides great traction in the snow, due to the extra weight being right on top of the rear axle.

• The engine is rated at 71 HP (horsepower) at 5800 RPMs (revolutions per minute).

• The engine is just 61 cubic inches or 1 cubic liter in size, which makes it about 1/3 the size of a typical V-6 engine.

• Its aluminum engine consists of 4 valves per cylinder with a net power of 52kW.

• Net torque is 68 lb/ft at 4,500 RPMs.

• An electronic limiter sets the maximum speed at 90 MPH.

• Premium unleaded gas fuel is required.

I know all this technical info on the smart car engine isn't going to be meaningful or necessary for every visitor to this site, but just in case you're interested in this kind of smart car information, I thought I'd include it here.
