Background
The Smart Fortwo was originally introduced in 1998 with the first generation model running for 9 years until 2007. It received a facelift in 2002 and was available in a number of different forms including the base model ‘Pure’, the sportier ‘Pulse’ coupe and the luxury Passion Cabriolet.

There is also a Hybrid model, a Smart electric drive model and a Brabus (sporty) model available in certain markets.
A third generation model is expected to see the production lines in 2012.
