Many high-end motoring enthusiasts will tell you that they won’t consider driving smaller vehicles because the cars simply don’t look good enough. Now however, Smart is determined to change that perception with a more stylish, special Fortwo model.
The new vehicle will be characterised by high quality equipment and fine materials, as well as an unusual appearance. It will be known as the Smart Fortwo edition highstyle and will feature exclusive paintwork in chocolate brown metallic as well as 12spoke 15″ alloy wheels. The interior will be made up of a mix of fabric and leather.
The car is loaded with eye catching equipment such as electric windows, air conditioning with temperature control, heated seats, power steering, a lockable glove compartment, a panoramic sunroof with blinds and electric power steering.
Despite the bombardment of new features, this remains a model with a clear environmental conscience. It is available with either a 52kW or a 62kW petrol engine, the latter of which is fitted with an automatic start/stop system.
The Smart Fortwo edition highstyle is Euro 5 compliant with the start/stop system shutting down the engine as soon as the driver brakes and the vehicle’s speed falls below 5mph. It is then restarted when the brake pedal is released – this can create fuel savings of up to 20 per cent in urban traffic.
