Limited edition Smart Fortwo Citybeam on sale this month, at dealers in April

It ain't exactly a Pontiac Trans Am and the Screaming Eagle, but Daimler is trying to get a little sportier with its Smart Fortwo vehicle line. On January 15, Smart will start taking orders for the Citybeam limited edition Fortwo in Europe. The starting price is 14,490 euros (about $20,000) and the special version of the little-bitty two-seater will start deliveries to European dealers in April. No word on when or whether they'll grace our highways, but many limited editions like this one have been Euro-only in the past. Exterior colors for the Citybeam include light blue, silver metallic and matt anthracite (that's black to you and me). The headlamps will be titanium-colored. Looking for three-double-spoke alloy wheels and extra wide rubber on the road? Check. There will also be upgraded seats and an improved instrument panel. Daimler, which also owns Mercedes-Benz, unveiled the Smart ForTwo Citybeam at the Brussels Motor Show on Friday. The Citybeam will be available as both a coupe and convertible in both in both gas and electric versions. The gas version includes a regular 70-horsepower and a turbocharged 82-horsepower version, while the electric delivers 74 horsepower. Check out Smart's press release below.

Smart will unveil an autonomous EV concept in Frankfurt

Urban mobility minicar maker Smart took to Instagram to tease a new concept car it plans to unveil next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's an all-electric, autonomous car that borrows its electric powertrain from the Mercedes-Benz EQ. The partial reveal on Instagram doesn't give much to go on visually, except for an interesting LCD display on the front grille. (Or is that the rear? We're not sure.) It's due to hit the International Motor Show (IAA) Sept. 11. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In a news release touting its IAA lineup, Daimler touts the car as being "an intelligent solution for shared urban mobility." Here's more from the company (tl;dr version: It's an electric, autonomous, car-sharing concept): With the new, electrically powered smart showcar, the brand is exhibiting a study by the recently founded product and technology brand EQ as a world premiere. This fully autonomously driving study is the first model to comprehensively embody all four pillars of the corporate strategy CASE: "Connected", "Autonomous", "Shared" and "Electric". It stands for maximum mobility efficiency in and for the urban environment thanks to systematic further development of the carsharing concept, and makes the vision of individualised, highly flexible urban public transport a reality. Our recent First Drive review of a 2017 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Carbrio was fairly brutal, with the author noting that Mercedes' Smart subsidiary "has not learned anything, but simply converted their previous losing formula to run on electricity." Smart announced back in 2016 it planned to electrify its entire lineup. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Smart Fortwo Moscot may be final swan song for outgoing city car

The long-serving Smart Fortwo – introduced back in 1998 and updated in 2007 – is finally on its way out. Soon there'll even be a new Cabrio model to replace the existing one. But before Daimler's city-car brand sends off the vehicle that put it on the map, it's releasing what we hope, at least, will be one last special edition. Created in collaboration between Smart and celebrated eyewear label Moscot, this special-edition Fortwo Cabrio was revealed just a couple of days ago at the MIDO optics expo in Milan and will be on hand for the Geneva Motor Show this week. It's characterized by a black and pale yellow livery and packs a front spoiler, wheels and sport suspension by Brabus, with an interior enhanced by special leather trim. Only 100 units will be made, in celebration of Moscot's centenary, to be delivered (in Europe at least) early this coming summer. And as a special bonus, each comes with a pair of Moscot Lemtosh glasses with three clip-on sub lenses. smart fortwo edition MOSCOT: Special edition smart fortwo cabrio with cult appeal Milan/Geneva, Feb 28, 2015 smart and MOSCOT invite fans to "Keep moving–stay original!," with the introduction of the new black and yellow "smart fortwo edition MOSCOT".

The "smart fortwo edition MOSCOT" will make its second major appearance at the Geneva Motor Show (5 to 15 March 2015). The exclusive two-seater cabrio with the BRABUS 75 kW turbo engine is available in Germany at prices starting from ˆ29,524 (recommended retail price including 19% VAT).
