Abstract

After a life span of eight years which has seen more than 770,000 vehicles roll off the production line, Smart is now launching the second generation of the now iconic Fortwo. The new vehicle continues the distinctive concept embodied by this ultra-compact two-seater. A whole host of original solutions deserve a closer look — from the plastics technology which features in the body panelling and the panoramic roof to the automated transmission and the economical engines.
