EXPLAINED: Tiny sideways parking smart car from the nineties is back with an electric makeover | Vintage Vibes

The Smart #2 has dinky dimensions; it's just 2,746mm long - (Smart)

Smart is going back to where it all started with the new Smart #2, a tiny two-seat electric car that revives the spirit of the much-loved Fortwo – a car that you could park sideways because it was no longer than most cars are wide.

Revealed at the Paris Motor Show, the #2 is the smallest member of Smart’s current electric range and and is set to cost less than £20,000 when it arrives in the UK. It comes 30 years after the original two-seat Smart concept made its debut in the same city.
