Mitsubishi i vs. Double Decker Smart Car #TBT - Fifth Gear

I went to the pub to recruit some real actual human adults I know this is gonna sound really seedy but could you come out to the car for me and sit in the car with me for a little just for a quick experiment it's not rude or no suspicious I'm locking up just for one minute one turtle it's supposed to be able to put four adults obviously I'm worn I need three more why you're here what do you guys like the battery so actually it's lots of leg recruitment cuz I've got the CEO set for me and I'm what six foot three I was gonna say yeah shoulder room head room were you thinking yeah yeah yes yes are you all right here yeah very comfortable sure yeah okay well thanks very much for that you've helped my experiment I think you're all free to go thank you very much thank you good day

The room II feel comes in part from all the glazing it's like sitting inside a giant astronaut's helmet but you see there's some very clever packaging going on inside this car the engine doesn't take up any space in the front because it isn't there it's here tucked underneath the boot and interesting in itself just 660 CC the same as a couple of Coke cans when it does on the turbocharger and it kicks out a whopping 57 horsepower which is enough to really embarrass sewing machines with a top speed of 84 miles an hour it's quick in a run down the motorway the fight is this is a car that should never leave the city limits think of it as a ball bearing to flick around pinball town centers you could ride this car there's potholes like that and it soaks the moat really will smooth it's comfortable it's great if you've got piles I haven't and when you kick the automatic transmission down you can really it sounds like someone to go to the toilet pretty violently behind you there's a list as long as your arm about why this car makes good sense it's reasonably well equipped it performs very well in crash tests drive it gently and you'll do more than 50 to the gallon around town plus it spits out barely any CO2 so it's only costing about thirty-five quid a year to tax but it cost nine thousand quid and the fire remains is you can go out and buy a car such as the Toyota AYGO which is two thousand pounds less it's more economical and it's faster which got me thinking could I personally build a revolutionary concept in city cars on a budget hell yeah and these are my ingredients are smart another smart and four bodies total cost 4,600 pounds roughly half the cost of an eye or ear or whatever it is so how am I going to create a four-seater car but retain that dinky little wheelbase well like a 1970s Town Planner I'm thinking hi Ryan unlike wealthy car manufacturers my approach to engineering is a bit more garden shed think spanners and plenty of elbow grease behold the world's first double-decker car what's a lovely view up here like a London sightseeing bus and of course it's got two boots which means double the amount of cargo capacity compared to the eye but is it as good as an eye well let's conduct some very scientific tests test one parking this gap is too small even for the eye but will my double-decker smart squeezes open space saving here we come clearly not one for the multi-story but the double deckers compact wheelbase gives it the edge for on street parking now how will it fare in our second test performance with four on board each car which will be the quickest in a straight row Oh 25 a long wait now hmm obviously my double-decker smarts no good if you really need to get your mates somewhere in a hurry but we have one final challenge you see it would be very irresponsible of me to put my brand new design straight into the market without first doing some research on stability the elk test was developed in Sweden where swerving to avoid moose is part of everyday driving the eye avoids the obstacle and regains his composure nicely Lord only knows how my double-decker will perform is 40 miles per hour emergency maneuver obviously I completely trust my new prototype which is why I'm going to wear a helmet and neck brace and attracting top wish me luck anything else incredibly my creation took it all in its stride sort of so we thought we'd up the ante and go even faster oh I need the toilet quite badly poor I can't quite oh you're right hello yeah I tell you I suppose if he could move the loop for his living I guess donating piece of cake

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the new Mitsubishi I or maybe it's the Mitsubishi it I'm not quite sure but what I can tell you is that it's Pikachu styling has won it tons of awards in its native Japan where they simply cannot build them quick enough it's nearly ten inches shorter than a mini on the outside but an utter TARDIS inside supposedly able to accommodate for actual human adult's in comfort let's find out I went to the pub to recruit some real actual human adult's I know this is gonna sound really seedy but could you come out to the car for me and sit in the car with me for a little just for a quick experiment it's not rude or no suspicious I'm locking up just for one minute one turtle it's supposed to be able to put four adults obviously I'm worn I need three more why you're here what do you guys like the battery so actually it's lots of leg recruitment cuz I've got the CEO set for me and I'm what six foot three I was gonna say yeah shoulder room head room were you thinking yeah yeah yes yes are you all right here yeah very comfortable sure yeah okay well thanks very much for that you've helped my experiment I think you're all free to go thank you very much thank you good day the room II feel comes in part from all the glazing it's like sitting inside a giant astronaut's helmet but you see there's some very clever packaging going on inside this car the engine doesn't take up any space in the front because it isn't there it's here tucked underneath the boot and interesting in itself just 660 CC the same as a couple of coke cans when it does on the turbocharger and it kicks out a whopping 57 horsepower which is enough to really embarrass sewing machines with a top speed of 84 miles an hour it's quick in a run down the motorway the fight is this is a car that should never leave the city limits think of it as a ball bearing to flick around pinball town centers you could ride this car there's potholes like that and it soaks the moat really will smooth it's comfortable it's great if you've got piles I haven't and when you kick the automatic transmission down you can really it sounds like someone to go to the toilet pretty violently behind you there's a list as long as your arm about why this car makes good sense it's reasonably well equipped it performs very well in crash tests drive it gently and you'll do more than 50 to the gallon around town plus it spits out barely any co2 so it's only costing about thirty five quid a year to tax but it cost nine thousand quid and the fire remains is you can go out and buy a car such as the Toyota AYGO which is two thousand pounds less it's more economical and it's faster which got me thinking could I personally build a revolutionary concept in city cars on a budget hell yeah and these are my ingredients are smart another smart and four bodies total cost 4,600 pounds roughly half the cost of an eye or ear or whatever it is so how am I going to create a four seater car but retain that dinky little wheelbase well like a 1970s Town Planner I'm thinking hi Ryan unlike wealthy car manufacturers my approach to engineering is a bit more garden shed think spanners and plenty of elbow grease behold the world's first double-decker car what's a lovely view up here like a London sightseeing bus and of course it's got two boots which means double the amount of cargo capacity compared to the eye but is it as good as an eye well let's conduct some very scientific tests test one parking this gap is too small even for the eye but will my double-decker smart squeezes open space saving here we come clearly not one for the multi-storey but the double deckers compact wheelbase gives it the edge for on street parking now how will it fare in our second test performance with four on board each car which will be the quickest in a straight row Oh 25 a long wait now hmm obviously my double-decker smarts no good if you really need to get your mates somewhere in a hurry but we have one final challenge you see it would be very irresponsible of me to put my brand new design straight into the market without first doing some research on stability the elk test was developed in Sweden where swerving to avoid moose is part of everyday driving the eye avoids the obstacle and regains his composure nicely Lord only knows how my double-decker will perform is 40 miles per hour emergency maneuver obviously I completely trust my new prototype which is why I'm going to wear a helmet and neck brace and attracting top wish me luck anything else incredibly my creation took it all in its stride sort of so we thought we'd up the ante and go even faster oh I need the toilet quite badly poor I can't quite oh you're right hello yeah I need the toilet I tell you I suppose if he
