We did see it in action on TopGear, though it could have been 5 or 600 and it would have looked the same. Maybe they detuned it for Rutlidge. Also, maybe you have a point and it's normally running less than 1,000 so it lasts a few more miles and they just advertise it as 1000 because it sounds better and it made…

Not all rally cars have fuel cells, as I found out. All those front-drive Fiestas you see running around American stages just have gas tanks.
Speculation time.

Prepare your bodies for more pictures. I'm at the dealer meeting. I'll answer any questions that I can. Might have a test drive report for everyone later. It also looks more like a stingray in person.

No, the twingo has this too and there's nothing under there but somewhere to refill the washer fluid. It's basically just the front crash structure and leg room, but makes it look more car like.
No mention of mileage? Because the lame with a capital L thing about the Smart ForTwo was that it was a teeny tiny car that got terrible mileage (for its size). I haven't talked to a single person who didn't think it got north of 60 mpg, and was shocked when they heard the true numbers...
