A fine red Smart Roadster seen in the great city of Putian in Fujian Province. The Roadster was made from 2003 until 2006 but was never officially exported to China, how this red example ended up all the way in Putian is therefore a mystery. Still, we are happy to see it because the Smart Roadster was one of the coolest little sportcars ever made. Very light, engine in the middle, and rear wheel drive! Mercedes-Benz killed the Roadster and Roadster Coupe after only 43.000 examples were made, because the warranty costs were deemed to high. A very sad end for a very great car…
