The Smart community is a rather numerous one and enthusiasts like to get together every once in a while and talk about their passion.

Organized since 2001, “Smart Times” took to the streets of Hamburg, Germany, this year, where 1,635 units of the Roadster, Coupe, and Cabriolet were cheered by locals over the weekend, during the parade, setting a new attendance record that shattered the previous one, when 1,457 vehicles gathered in Cascais, Portugal, in 2014.

From the mass-produced Smart cars to limited edition models and even one-offs, such as the Popemobile and an off-roader with a massive ground clearance and chunky tires, the vehicles on the site demonstrated the numerous possibilities when it comes to individualizing the cars.

The 3,167 participants, who came from around the world, got the chance to chat to designers, tuners and experts about their vehicles, took part in excursions, listened to various live music acts, and were joined on the stage by German beach volleyball duo Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst in a golden Smart ForTwo Cabrio.

Next year, the Smart worldwide fan community will be heading to Spain, in the city of Salou, for another weekend of celebrations sprinkled with various live events.
