Smart monster truck. No, I mean, really, Smart.
Most folks in America haven't encountered the Smart ForTwo. Part of Daimler (Benz), Smart's been making the FourTwo since 2000 and it's surprisingly comfortable and you can park perpendicular to the curb and, of course, it gets fantastic gas mileage.
We'll get a chance to check out the practical little car thing when it comes to the States next year. In the meantime, however, superfreaks at the Smart offices (or whatever) in Greece decided to spend what little time they may have on taking the 84hp, six-cylinder, diesel engine and transmission from a Unimog uber truck and shoving it up skirt of the tiny ForTwo. The result is pure Greek comedy - minus all the insest. 
This bad boy you find your eye drawn to is the ForFun - something that will never get built but exists as a bit of a publicity exercise - and there's nothing wrong with that. The ForFun couldn't fit the Unimog's unbelievable suspension - but it does feature individually-adjustable shock absorbers.
Check out http://www.thesmart.ca to see a couple more pictures - they've been kind not to sue me for using the above image.

Do not get to exiting over the smart car, as I watched a program in the UK called Top Gear and they put the Smart Car through a series of tests and when it came to handling it went right of the track and let’s not talk about what the car is like if you crash it into a wall at slow speeds, but as for normal town driving then yes the Smart is just fantastic for that
