Official Smart Fortwo photos released

Here are some official shots from the new Smart Fortwo, which exactly like the ones we saw a couple of days ago. The new Fortwo does look similar to the old one in appearance, but according to Autoblog the fortwo has grown in all dimensions and now sits at 2.69 meters (8.82 feet) long. It will also be powered by a bigger motor that's a full liter in size and available in various power levels. A diesel option will be offered, and SMART is also fitting the new fortwo with a "stop & go" system that cuts the engine at red lights much like a hybrid. Safety will be a big priority as well, with each fortwo stocked with front airbargs, ABS and ESP.

Will the redesigned Smart attract US buyers, nobody really knows for sure, but a car like this in cities like NY or LA would be a welcome relief.
