MCC smart roadster
on the Stuttgart radio tower

Degerloch, Germany, 20. May 2004

The smart roadster will drive up to a height of approximately 100 meters on two parallel steel ropes which are fixed below the restaurant area. Total span of the drive will be an approximate 300 meters.

The Smart car would have wished for a higher end point, however the tower's architects had to refuse that after analysing the tower's structure.

Note:

• The Neckar valley and its surrounding area is the home of some of the major German automobile manufacturers, namely ]DaimlerChrysler[ (holding Mercedes-Benz), and ]Porsche[. The MCC smart car can be seen as a newly branded "Lego vehicle" plugged together from DC + Mitsubishi parts, besides others.
• Stuntman Traber has worked with the legendary Evel Knievel on such films as the 1979 James Bond blockbuster "Moonraker".
