About the Smart Roadster Black Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Smart Roadster recreates the 2003 two-seat sports car in black, a lightweight model built on Smart's city-car underpinnings but styled as a genuine open-top sports car. Entry-tier construction and a short-lived original both make this a discovery piece rather than a headline subject.

The Smart Roadster is an easy car to overlook, a two-seater built by a brand better known for tiny city cars. Bburago's black diecast gives it a fair hearing at an accessible price.

Bburago's Entry-Tier Scale of a Short-Lived Sports Car

The body is zinc alloy diecast, finished in black with the bonnet opening on simple hinges typical of Bburago's entry range. Panel gaps run wider than mid-tier work and the cabin uses a simplified dashboard rather than mapped switchgear detail. The model's strength lies in the Roadster's unusual proportions: a stubby wheelbase, a high beltline, and a stance that reads more like a compact sports car than anything derived from a city runabout. Black suits the car's slightly quirky silhouette better than brighter colours, giving the shape room to speak for itself without competing for attention.

A Compact Two-Seater With an Unusual Family Tree

Built between 2003 and 2005, the Smart Roadster was a genuine attempt to make a lightweight, open-top sports car out of city-car engineering, and it lasted only a couple of production years before Smart withdrew from the segment entirely. That short run makes it a niche subject rather than a well-known one, but that is exactly the appeal for a collector who enjoys discovery pieces alongside the obvious choices. An entry-tier diecast is the right way to own this shape without overpaying for a car that most buyers have never heard of.

Set among small European sports cars of the early 2000s, the Roadster's odd origin story gives a themed shelf something genuinely different to talk about.
