“It’s just a fitting thing for this kind of car,” says Anderson. “The car is just kind of made for (snowmobile conversion), being rear-engine and rear-wheel drive. I just had to try it out.”
Anderson built the car out of his garage with the help of friendly neighbours. It is fully functional and can reach speeds of 65 km/h. Anderson operates Autobahn Tuning in Manotick in south Ottawa, specializing in repairing, restoring and modifying European cars.
The tracks are from a side-by-side ATV, which Anderson adapted to fit the hubs of the Smart car. The skis were then designed and laser cut to fit the new and improved snowmobile.
short story of it, 77 year old gent in the van had a "medical episode" left his lane, crossed into the path of the Smart Car, caused the collision, and no one died.
I believe the cost is about 1200 dollars. Through them, but it does make me wonder what a vinyl wrap would cost if you went to a company that does that, without going through a dealership.
