World Of Cars 101

To get straight to the point: the new smart fortwo can do everything that the current model can do – but even better. This means that the new smart fortwo is even more comfortable, even more agile, even safer and even more ecological than its predecessor. The changed running gear and the slightly larger body make the smart fortwo even more comfortable.
The active and passive safety have been further improved. The new drive engineering provides for even more agility and driving fun and also makes the new smart fortwo even more ecological.
The design has been skilfully further developed and gives the new smart fortwo a fresh, more masculine appearance. And yet it retains its unmistakable character: you can always tell a smart fortwo at first sight – by its striking tridion safety cell that is also one of the main safety features, and by the innovative plastic bodypanels that are extremely practical into the bargain.
Engines: powerful, clean, economical
The smart fortwo will be launched in April 2007 with reengineered uprated petrol engines. The three cylinder engine has capacity of one litre and delivers 45 kW, 52 kW or 62 kW (61 bhp, 71 bhp or 84 bhp). The engine power of the smart fortwo cdi has increased by ten percent and now stands at 33 kW (45 bhp).
All engines are linked to an automated manual five-speed transmission from Getrag that has also been reengineered.
