Smart Fortwo

Sources inside Mercedes-Benz disclosed that the new model of the Smart Fortwo will feature a one-and-a-half box design instead of the current single-box profile, once it enters the market next year.

The new design is intended to increase the front impact protection of the latest generation of this city car, which is set to be released in 2014. The interior of the vehicle will also be enhanced due to its new design. The new model of the Fortwo will have an overall length of 2750mm and width of 1660mm, which is an increase of 80mm… Continue Reading »

Back in late 2010, it was reported that Daimler and Renault-Nissan had signed an agreement to share drivetrains, with the agreement seeming to benefit the French-Japanese alliance more, as they would have had access to AMG’s engines. But other reports then came to light that Daimler’s smart division would be using Renaults miserly turbodiesel for the replacement fortwo. This is not to be, however, as a British magazine says that Renault has reportedly backed out of the deal. That the French car industry is in the doldrums is not news anymore, and so it’s not surprising to learn that the reason Renault is giving is a more restrictive R&D budget…. Continue Reading »

smart BRABUS electric drive

Making an appearance at the Paris 2012 show is this electric fortwo from Brabus. Clad in an electrifying green and black color scheme, this fortwo is a standout from the special edition Smart cars we’ve been seeing.  As befits a Brabus creation, this little commuter has the makings of a pocket rocket with a peak power output of 82 horsepower. And with electric motors providing full torque from 0 rpm, this little car is a perfect machine for zipping through the urban jungle. No Brabus creation would be complete without an aggressive-looking body kit and here, the fortwo from this premiere Mercedes tuner does not disappoint. A Brabus spoiler with… Continue Reading »

Video: SLR McLaren is a sitting duck

Kharl Prado May 17, 2012

This is embarassing. Imagine scooting around town in your badass Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren only to end up being handed a parking violation ticket by an officer driving a Smart car. In case you’re wondering, a new SLR McLaren held a price tag of just over half a million dollars during its time. It seems the wealthy owner, self-titled “Prince of Germany”, was simply begging to get caught by displaying his ride in the wrong place at the wrong time. The officers just happened to be driving along Beverly Hills, California in their Smart Fortwo when, lo and behold, there sitting in a no-parking zone was the 617hp supercar dressed up… Continue Reading »

At Least Two More Years Before New smart Models Arrive

Emmanuel P October 11, 2011

With all the new product announcements Mercedes-Benz seems to be spewing lately, you might think that Daimler has put smart development on the back burner. But far from doing so, the smart division has reportedly been working with Renault to share the replacement Twingo platform. This will result in a new ForTwo that will be launched in 2014. And just as interesting, there seem to be plans to develop a new smart model based on the new platform. This will be called the ForFour and, no surprise, will be a four-seater. But instead of just being a stretched ForTwo which we have come to know as a front-engine, front-drive car,… Continue Reading »
