Smart says goodbye to the internal combustion engine, exclusive yellow-black series

15 May 2019

The final release of the Smart settarov with internal combustion engines will mark an exclusive "farewell" series EQ Fotrwo Cabrio Final Collector's Edition

The future is literally coming in the next 2020 famous brand Smart (the factory is in France, but the brand is listed for the Daimler AG and is therefore considered a German) will cease production of settarov with the internal combustion engine.

Of course, that Daimler made this loud enough infopovod: "Smart will be the first automaker in the world, who uncompromisingly will transfer its entire range of the internal combustion engine to the electric drive".

To mark the transition from one époque to another "for the most ardent collectors" prepared an exclusive "farewell" the Final series Collector's Edition convertible Smart Fortwo Cabrio EQ, whose exterior was designed by German artist and designer Konstantin Grcic, with the support of the Studio Brabus, although his presence is clearly not expressed.

The bright yellow colour of front just reminiscent of the first Smart-s okrashivaniya in Canary color is Hello Yellow. Matte black color coated tailgate ideological't beaten, isn't that just expresses the same regret at the withdrawal from Europe. But the "#21" stylized characters are very expressive (as they say – keep trying!). 

Who sang this creation, the artist explained that he wanted thereby to indicate the watershed, show the breakthrough to freedom and pushing boundaries, expressing his "rebellious nature."

However, the impression is, to put it mildly, ambiguous – even on a small-town salons autotuning caught and ekspressivnoe.

Collector's value exclusive series emphasizes its tiny scale – a total of 21 cars.

The symbolism of the numbers is obvious, as the first serial Smart-s debut just 21 years ago in 1998.

Party collectible toy cars will release in August. But with the price, and with a contingent of buyers until there is clarity.

It is only that the Smart brand has become SP Daimler and Geely and accordingly change the domicile of China.

So, this series sounds rather a Requiem for all this merry marches, anyway, in old Europe.


PS Waste I Smart a few years ago...

Old and current essentially curious "shit box on wheels" on which, however, was so tempted to more bright, but at speeds over a hundred still becomes somewhat scary (especially for older series). And, Yes, the motor in her and asked.

Another question that Tesla, in recent years, in fact, asked the American market for electric vehicles "linkory" format of the dimension and on this background looked Smart in the US with their baggy interstate and mnogochislennymi Parking at supermarkets is almost like a Golf cart (why and left the market even electrovalence), but in Europe with its close historical streets, and slaughtered on the streets of Chinese cities elektroinstalacija his will completely to the court (Parking across the sidewalk, not along!), indeed, the very concept of this citicar as if originally designed for electric drive: minimotor (petrol or electric) above the rear axle high enough to fit (due to the energy absorbing floor) as it was originally used for accommodating the bottom of the battery, by the way, here is motor-Kolesa arrived to 3.5 with hundreds is no joke! Yes, maybe all wheels are to be managed, then he will be able to Park in a "crab", i.e., even sideways.

All anything, but the price for a European machine-made rolls per interior room and meter overall length. Maybe moving to China and will correct the matter.

However, I think that such "electromedicine" the future, at least the urban transport, especially car-share..
