Smart forspeed: concept discovery

The alliance Daimler-Renault/Nissan took place almost a year, but to see the first fruits have to wait again. The two Houses, in fact, are studying the best solutions for more fruitful collaboration and after news of the cancellation of the smart forfour American on a Nissan Micra, we can see today the first images of smart forspeed, the successful two-seater roadster concept in Germany.

Do not delude ourselves, the production version of the next generation of smart and will not be so extreme roof, windscreen and windows, but some stylistic elements will be very similar if not identical to those of the Swiss concept for exhibition. You immediately notice the new shape of the headlamps, rounded and the rear ones, they too no longer split round, in addition to the shape of the front bezel.

To push the smart forspeed thinks the same electric motor of the smart ED, which accelerates from 0 to 60 km / h in 5.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 120 mph. Fueling the engine takes care of a lithium-ion battery from 16.5 kWh, which ensures a maximum distance of 135 km. Of course the smart future will have even the most traditional combustion engines.

In addition to the fortwo, the family can count on the return of the smart forfour model, after DaimlerChrysler abandoned the low numbers recorded. The new 4-door smart born on Renault platform, most likely one of the new Twingo and we have already seen through a spy photo published some time ago.
