Phone booths? Bah! How many people can you fit inside a smart?

The smart fortwo can legally seat only two people. But you would be amazed at the amount of ~~nonsense~~ people you can fit inside. Up to thirteen people! The stunt was made to celebrate the smart's 10th anniversary. Owners and visitors to the annual smart Destination Brooklands event held at Mercedes-Benz World at Weybridge, Great Britain, were invited to take up the smart-packing challenge. Among the 1,200 candidates, a group of body-bending specialists were chosen for their gymnastic features and ability to get 13 people crammed inside.

If case you wondered (I did), a little research revealed similar records for stuffing people in a smart (find them after the jump). Eighteen people managed to squeeze inside a smart in Germany back in 2002. 18? Ouch.
