In conjunction with performance and styling specialists Brabus, Smart has developed a new individualization programme for its Fortwo micro car. The German firm claims that "anything is possible" with this service as customers can choose from thousands of different finishes for the exterior, numerous types of leather in around 100 colors , six cabrio soft top colors as well as the whole Smart and Smart-Brabus range of accessories.As part of the new customization service, buyers will also be able to specify their car's body panels and tridion safety cell from a palette of 18 vivid colors, each with a supercar or heritage theme including a vibrant Campbell Blue that pays homage to the iconic Bluebird land speed record.
The Smart-Brabus tailor made concept, which is being officially launched at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, will be available this winter.
In keeping with its long tradition of special edition models, Smart has announced the launch of its latest creation, the Fortwo Edition Highstyle that is characterized by additional features, the use of finer materials and special color schemes. On the outside, the special edition Smart is distinguished by the chocolate brown metallic finish, the new 15-inch, twelve-spoke alloy wheels and the "Edition Highstyle" logos in aluminum look.
Inside, the Fortwo features a mix of fabric and leather in contrasting colors which is further enhanced by the decorative brown seams on the seats. The kneepad and instrument panel have a leather look, while the 3-spoke sports steering wheel is covered with leather, as is the gear knob. Trim parts in matt silver round off the changes.
Based on the Coupe Passion trim, the Highstyle comes equipped with standard softouch automatic gear programme, electric windows, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, a panoramic roof with sunblind as well as additional dashboard instruments and Smart's radio 9 audio system.
The special Fortwo model is available with a 71HP engine fitted with a start and stop system or with a 84HP engine and costs in Germany €15,695 and €16,195 respectively (including VAT).
