    Yeah, he is in his mid 30s.

    The engine is pretty incredible too. Fully blown. Sounds like two Harleys side by side.

    This is what i thought as well, which is why I was surprised when I read that it was that guys grandpa. The guy looked like he was 30-something.

    The Top Gear test is pretty limited.

    The only way to survive a SMART car crash is to ensure the other vehicle or surface hits the bumper directly.

    As soon as a SMART car hits a taller vehicle, the driver guaranteed to be killed in the collision.

    There were some pretty gruesome pictures floating around the internet of a SMART car that rear ended a 4x4 truck. The guy basically got cut in two along with the SMART car.
