SMART cars are cool – just ask Simon Cowell. He was pictured driving the dinky two-seater out of his LA mansion this week.
Even tough Aussie Mel Gibson has swapped his Mad Max motors for an economical Smart. It has been a motoring trendsetter ever since owners Mercedes shocked the automotive world when they brought it out in 1998.

The revolutionary 8ft 10in-long motor made small cars cool for the first time since the British Mini.
Simon was driving his in Los Angeles but the pop mogul missed a trick, driving the ultimate Smart which debuted at the LA Motor Show.

The electric version with wings was designed by Jeremy Scott, who usually makes outfits for stars including pop’s Lady Gaga. Smart bosses say they will be bringing out a special edition Forjeremy in the UK next year.
The company have been one of the leaders in the race to get electric cars to become part of mainstream motoring. In London, they are launching a groundbreaking car-sharing scheme.
The story is set to continue with an all-new model due in 2013 and a four seater version in the future. So the Smart money will keep rolling in.
