Smart Car engine
The rear mounted engine is a 0.7 litter 3-cylinder turbo charged Mercedes Benz engine connected to a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission that can be shifted manually or run in normal automatic mode. The car is rated at 55 miles per gallon on regular 87 octane unleaded gasoline. In Europe they can also be bought with diesel engines but our fuel is not the same as the European standard for diesel so those cars can not be brought into the US.
