We have some breaking news out of Phoenix, Arizona. Apparently, the best way to avoid capture by law enforcement is to tear down the highway not in a Dodge Challenger Hellcat or a high-powered Italian hypercar. It turns out, the Achilles Heel of law enforcement is a … Smart Fortwo?
Obviously there’s more to this situation than meets the eye, and to be fair, the pursuit was voluntarily terminated by police. But you can’t blame us for sharing the news of a car chase involving a Smart Fortwo where the driver actually got away. And it’s not like he pulled some epic James Bond-style stunt driving and hid in the car in a shipping crate near an alley or something. This chase stretched its legs on Interstate 10 in the Phoenix area with several vehicles in pursuit. Fox 10 Pheonix had a helicopter on the scene and everything. Clearly the helicopter had all kinds of trouble keeping up with the Smart, which has a blistering top speed of 84 mph.
Sarcasm…
