FACTOID #151: The five countries with the highest coffee consumption are also the five countries whose citizens trust one another the most. Coincidence? Probably.
Mercedes-Benz uses the term Coupe Roadster (note capitalization) to denote cars so equipped. These models always have a folding textile or vinyl soft top in addition.
The hardtop usually includes the rear back glass and side quarter windows. It can usually be lifted on or off the car by two people, although typically a block and tackle garage mounted hoist is used. The soft top need not be deployed, nor can it be, when the hardtop is in place.
The tyres of the smart roadster have the dimensions 185/55 R 15 on the front and rear axle on spinline light-alloy rims.
The safety concept of the smart roadster and smart roadster-coupé is of a high standard comparable to that of the smart city-coupé and smart cabrio.
Whereas roadsters of the '50s and '60s were relatively light with a vehicle weight of less than 1,000 kilogrammes, the engine power rarely exceeded 45 kW.
