You can get kits to convert Mini's to rear wheel drive with sportsbike engines as well.
And Civic engines. Wasnt there someone on here the other day that posted a mini running an Audi TT engine

Dont knock the smart. I watched some crash tests of one. It bounced, yes bounced off the concrete block at 30mph. They said that the car would survive, but the occupants wouldnt due to the immense shock to the system.

There was another Smart with a bike engine. It was all done to look like a proper and was in Autocar iirc
