Smart Fortwo CDI
Once upon a time, Daimler’s Smart car division figured its tiny city cars were the future. They have sold decently in Europe but never caught in North America, which isn’t at all surprising. Today, Smart is attempting to re-position itself as a brand with an all-electric lineup, but there was a time when it sold a diesel. The Fortwo CDI received its power from a turbocharged diesel engine with 45 hp, but it’d still take you 19.5 seconds to reach 60 mph. Hey, at least with today’s all-electric Smart cars instant torque is available.
