Böblingen - Before the fortwo successor
model becomes available in the spring of 2007, the smart fortwo
edition red will be offered for sale as a final special model to
mark the phase-out of the current model. The sporty two-seater will
be exhibited at the Paris Motor Show (28 September - 08 October
2006).
The current smart fortwo model
is already as good as sold out and it has achieved cult
status within a very short space of time. Due to the high
demand, production in Hambach, France, was increased once
more at the beginning of this year. More than 750,000 vehicles
have been delivered to customers since the market launch
in October 1998.
The smart fortwo edition red
is just as sporty as it looks: the BRABUS engine has a power
output of 55 kW (75 bhp). 16 inch alloy wheels, a front
spoiler and sports rear muffler further underline the sporty
appearance. And as the name says, the tridion safety cell
and bodypanels are painted in "intensive red".
Leather and Alcantara with elaborately stitched
seams dominate in the interior of the smart fortwo edition red. Special
contrast components in "intensive red" and aluminium pedals add to the exclusive
look. Air conditioning and an audio system with an MP3 interface are also
part of the package. The smart fortwo edition red is available as a coupé
or a cabrio and costs € 20,995 and € 23,695 respectively.
