It totally does… But I kind of want it anyway
It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.
Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.
If this were real, it might actually be a lot of fun, kinda reminds me of an obese Suzuki Samurai lol
Every time I saw one of those I wanted to put a penny in the back to make it do a wheelie.

I’ve seen a couple people with those Smart Fortwos driving around with a big turn key sticking out the back as a joke.
I would unironically love to drive something like that. Yes, I see the many ridiculous things about it. Don’t care!
I don’t know what that means, but I’m upvoting it because I feel like I should!
You wouldn’t. It will be quite gutless, even if re-geared, and the steering incredibly washy. Slight uphill will be your nemesis.
Bet that would be fun to take off road. The dimensions are similar to a jeep.
I imagine that more trucks would look like this if they were actually used the way certain people claim.
It actually looks kinda cool…
