US Gets smart ForTwo Iceshine Special Edition

Ryan Joseph Ramos June 18, 2012

Hot on the heels of the Sharpred Special Edition that’s hitting the US right this summer, smart USA will be offering the 2013 smart ForTwo Iceshine model in the fall.

There will be a grand total of 1,800 Iceshine units produced, and 300 of them—that’s just one-sixth of the total—will be sent to the United States. Production starts in September, and this edition is set to get two colors: an all-white unit and an azure blue variant.

The US units will only sport the all-white color trim, however. The interior has black seats decked in leather and have white backrests and white stitching. In addition, the car gets power steering, heated seats, and LED daytime running lamps.

Clearly, all these special editions are meant to entice a market that’s just starting to warm up to EVs. The aforementioned ForTwo Sharpred, of which a mere 120 units will be sold Stateside [20 coupe variants and the rest are cabriolets], features a nifty black/red color scheme combined with interior trims of black for the seats and red for the stitches.

Later in the year, we will also see the Brabus ForTwo sport package.
