Smart Drive (front view)

The complete drive of a Smart is visible in this view. The engine is lying almost flat to the right in the engine compartment, comparable to a vehicle with front-wheel drive and transverse engine.The starter with solenoid is arranged at the transit between engine and transmission. The electrical motors above the transmission are part of the automatic gearbox. Above, there is the cooler and to the left of the engine the alternator and super charger, driven via belts.The stable upper frame forms the suspension for the wheel guidance. Clearly visible is also the stabilizer.
