(from Daimler Press
Release) A special edition of the smart fortwo will be
celebrating its world premiere at the 79th Geneva Motor Show. The
"edition limited three" boasts exclusive, elegant paintwork and a
spring-like fresh interior design concept. Thanks to mhd technology
as standard, the cult two-seater car combines a chic appearance with
outstanding environmental friendliness. The smart fortwo "edition
limited three" will be produced as a limited series.
smart is welcoming the
spring with a special series featuring melon green metallic
paintwork and extensive equipment, thus continuing the tradition of
smart special models. The new special finish of the spring model
injects a fresh shot of colour for the new season and harmonises
with the tridion safety cell. The 15 inch alloy wheels in a sporty
six-spoke design fitted with tyres measuring 175/55 R15 at the front
and 195/50 R15 at the rear are a further eye-catching feature. The
exterior look is rounded off by aluminium-effect "limited three"
logos in the mirror triangle.
The interior boasts an
unusual, fresh design concept in terms of colours and materials.
Here, the melon green metallic colour scheme is continued in an
exclusive fabric design with shades of brown creating a stylish
contrast, for example on the seats and in the door trim. The
instrument panel featuring dark brown leather-effect details also
continues the fresh play of colours that contrast with the green
fabric. The 3-spoke sports steering wheel with steering wheel
gearshift is covered with dark brown leather, as is the gear knob.
Shimmering matt silver trim parts round off the harmonious
impression of the interior.
The new edition, which
is available as a coupé and a cabriolet, is based on the "passion"
equipment variant. Among other features it comes with softouch
automatic gear programme, electric windows, air conditioning with
automatic temperature control, and for the coupé a panoramic roof
with sunblind. The standard equipment of the "edition limited three"
also includes dashboard instruments and the radio 9. Power steering,
heated seats, a lockable glove compartment and the smart sound
system with five high quality loud speakers and a smart MP3
interface are optionally available.
The special series of the new smart fortwo also places a focus on
"green" when it comes to the environment thanks to micro hybrid
drive (mhd) technology as standard with an intelligent and
user-friendly automatic start/stop system. The control electronics
shut down the 52kW /71 hp engine as soon as the driver brakes and
the vehicle's speed falls below 8 km/h - for example when
approaching traffic lights. The engine starts again in the fraction
of a second when the driver releases the brake pedal. The system is
perfectly tailored to the automated manual transmission of the smart
fortwo and is fully automatic - the driver does not need to do any
clutchwork or gear shifting. The automatic start/stop system reduces
the combined fuel consumption by approximately eight percent (NEDC
consumption per 100 km: coupé: 4.4 litres, cabrio: 4.5 litres). It
also reduces the CO2 emissions to 104 grams per kilometre for the
coupé and 106 grams per kilometre for the cabrio version. Fuel
savings of up to almost 20 percent are possible in urban traffic
with frequent stop-and-go situations.
The special model
"edition limited three" costs €15,470 as a coupé and €18,510 as a
cabrio (German list price incl. VAT).
