Mercedes has officialy started successfully producing the new Smart Fortwo in Hambach, France.The first vehicle produced in the pure equipment line has white bodypanels and a black tridion safety cell. Mercedes has sold more than 770,000 smart fortwos since the launch of the previous model in October 1998. The last vehicle of the previous model series rolled off the production line at the end of November 2006. The time up to the New Year was used to switch the production to the new model.

The new smart fortwo can do everything that the previous model could do – but even better. This means that the new smart fortwo is even more comfortable, even more agile, even safer and even more environmentally friendly than its predecessor.

The new smart fortwo can be ordered from mid January and will be available from dealers from April. The prices will be announced in good time prior to the start of ordering. The starting price for the new smart fortwo will stay at the level of the predecessor model.
