SMART #1 PREMIUM

- Greg Potts

Hashtag blessed

Right, let's clear up that name before we go any further. This is the Smart #1. And yes, you do have to say "Hashtag One" in full like someone who has just discovered 'The Internet'. It's not "Number One" and neither is it just "One".

This is the first new car that Smart has launched in its current form, with the company reborn in 2020 as a 50/50 joint venture between Mercedes and the ever-expanding Chinese firm Geely. Size-wise it's similar to a Mini Countryman, but underneath it's based on one of Geely's pre-existing, dedicated EV platforms.

California Speed

Borrowing the successful formula of Cruis'n USA, but abandoning the questionable apostrophe placement, California Speed made the Golden State your playground and tossed you the keys to a selection of cars that would almost certainly no longer pass Californian emissions laws. Developed by Atari Games, this take on the digital roadtrip was far less well known than Midway's Cruis'n series, but it absolutely stands up to the comparison.
