Road Kart - Smart Car Powered.

I found this road going go-cart called the Road Kart - in German. There is a Facebook page on it - in English. On the Facebook page in the 'about' section, it mentions it is a powered by the engine and transmission from a Smart Fortwo.
'The car should not only be as fun to drive as a go-kart, but also as affordable and easy to operate and maintain. Therefore the drivetrain and running gear from a Smart Fortwo (type 451) were selected to power the car. Thanks to its lightweight construction the car could do with a modest power unit, and furthermore it had to be rear wheel drive in order to meet the required demand for maximum driving fun. '
Personally, I think they made the correct choice. The Smart Fortwo (451) has been called a 'go-cart for the road'. I have considered it to be a lot of fun to drive.
