Hair, 10 October 2013 – Since 2007 the second generation smart on the market. Meanwhile, can the interest of the customer noticeably because although Mercedes against controls with all sorts of special models, compared to 2012, sales have declined this year by about ten percent. High time for a successor who will roll well in the coming year to the dealers.
common base with the Twingo
reason for delay is the development partner: Supposedly cooperation with Renault is not running quite smoothly. Together with the French formed the technical basis for the next Smart Fortwo and the new Renault Twingo. It also provides the basis for a Smart Forfour. New images of the Erlkönig Fortwo first to show how the final appearance apart from its predecessor. In fact, it create more elements shown in autumn 2012 study Forstars in the series than we had first thought. These include the circular LED taillights, but also the shape of headlights and grille. Most striking is the raised front part of the wagon. For a better pedestrian protection the Smart Fortwo gets a sense a “hood”, although the engine also tinkers in the rear future. Although the length of 2.70 meters, changes only slightly, but the Fortwo is more like a real car.
