Smart Rolls Out 2007 Fortwo "Edition Limited One"

STUTTGART, Germany — Smart rolled out its 2007 Fortwo "edition limited one" at the Bologna Motor Show here on Tuesday, saying that the car demonstrates customization possibilities for the European market.

The new Smart Fortwo made its worldwide debut earlier at the show. The special model is available only as a coupe with generous amounts of silver exterior trim.

With the limited edition, Smart tries to inject more of a luxury feel into the little city car, with a special pyrite gray exterior, cognac-brown used-napa-leather look trim in the cabin and velour floor mats. Exterior features include a panoramic roof with a sun blind and 15-inch alloy wheels in a six-spoke design.

The "edition limited one" is powered by a 71-horsepower gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 90 mph. The engine is linked to a new five-speed manual transmission.

The "edition limited one" will be available starting in mid-January.
Prices have not yet been announced. The Smart brand is due to roll out in the U.S. in 2008.
