Comfort, agility, safety and ecology are particular strengths of the Smart Fortwo. They are best demonstrated in European cities such as Paris, Berlin, Rome or Valletta - the environment that this car was developed for and where it has achieved cult status in a very short space of time.
The Smart Fortwo requires only half the road space of most other vehicles. The agile two-seater not only gets you around town more quickly; if everyone were to drive a Smart Fortwo, the line of cars waiting at the traffic lights would be only half as long, and the car parks would have space for twice as many cars. Or to put it another way: you don't have to look for a parking space in the Smart Fortwo - you find one.
With the motto "The city loves you" the Smart Fortwo will be demonstrating its archetypal strengths at the Paris Motor Show this weekend. A car park is a main feature of the exhibition area. Here, 15 Smart Fortwos are parked close together. They demonstrate the economical use of valuable parking space by this two-seater measuring less than three metres in length.
Incidentally, all the Smart Fortwos sport the same appearance in lite white with a silver tridion safety cell. With one exception: the Smart Fortwo edition red has an all-over "intensive red" finish. This sporty two-seater is to be offered as the final special model as the current series is phased out, and is also on show at the fair in Paris.
The new Smart Fortwo, which will be launched next spring is not on show in Paris. The world premiere will take place this year, at a location outside of the trade fair circuit. However, a first indication of its appearance has already been given: a sand sculpture of the new model could be seen during the German beach volleyball championships at the beginning of September at Timmendorfer Strand.
The new Smart Fortwo will be a true Smart Fortwo - it will adopt the key characteristics of the current model. You could say that the Fortwo can do everything that the current Fortwo can - just a little better.
