Smart forfun2 Monster Truck with a 5,8 litre diesel engine!

"Little monster town" just got a new resident in the form of the Smart forfun2: definitely, one of the most impressive Smart you'll ever set eyes on -as long as you don't try to stare down, but up on... Actually, this is Smart's second attempt at creating a monster truck, or to be more accurate, Mercedes-Benz Hellas (Greece) and Stefan Attart (46 year old Greek Champion in 4x4 Rally Races) attempt.

The latter had presented the first Smart monster truck, the forfour based, forfun at the Athens International Motor Show in November 2005. But while the forfun was solely made by Mercedes-Benz Hellas & Stefan Attart who fitted a forfour body on the platform of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (rally version), this time Mercedes-Benz central, gave a helping hand to the Greeks.


Once the platform for the smart forfun2 had been decided, in January of this year Stefan Attart started working on the first designs. The engine and transmission were adopted from the Unimog. The OM 352, a six-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 5,675 cc, delivers 84 Hp, which more than enough for this little monster. The dimensions also turn heads: tyres on 26 inch rims with a diameter of 140 cm. Not to mention ground clearance of 65 centimetres and a total height of 3.7 metres !
