There's something looming in the rear view mirror of Smart cars everywhere, and it's the work of Gordan Murray, designer of the famous McLaren F1 (top speed: 240 miles per hour). Murray's latest conceit tops out at a comparably puny 90 mph, but here's the thing: it gets an astounding 74 miles per gallon- in the city.
It's the just revealed T.25 City Car, which we've been waiting for for three years. And here's what makes it such a looming figure in the Smart car rear view- it's only 8 feet long by 4 feet wide, meaning three T.25s can fit in one standard size parking space. With the driver sitting front and center, two passengers can occupy the back seat. It's turning radius is under 20 feet - an Escalade needs 39.
