Smart Fortwo
The Smart Fortwo ( brand: smart fortwo ), which was referred to the beginning of 2004 as the smart city coupé, is a small city car. He is the first model of smart.
The smart fortwo has a CO2 emissions of 88 grams per kilometer (g / km) in the diesel version. With the introduction of the revised model of the second generation of the Fortwo in the fall of 2010, the CO2 emissions have been reduced km in the NEDC to 86 g /. He has after the Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi ISG (85 g / km in the same test cycle) the second lowest CO2 emissions among presently produced high-volume vehicles with internal combustion engine.
Until July 2013 1.5 million Fortwo ran in the Smart factory in Hambach, France from the tape.

Genesis
Developments originally started prior to 1993, Swatch Car of Nicolas Hayek. Here, a small car with electric drive or hybrid drive should arise. However, in cooperation with Volkswagen, VW could not make up for the production, and it came to disputes with Hayek. Hayek then turned to Mercedes. By March 1994, two design studies were compiled. Since MCC gave the original concept of focusing on the essentials "reduced to the max" as well as the planned electric or hybrid drive, leaving both Hayek, as well as leading members of the development team of the project. "Today's gasoline-powered Smart is a product of the Daimler -Benz and has nothing in common with the plans of the former Swatch teams "
In 1995, a design study of the smart fortwo now said vehicle at the IAA was presented. The car was pure in October 1998 in Europe for the trim levels and pulse introduced in the market. In 1999 came with the equipment package passion, add a third party.
First Generation (Series 450)
Smart City - Coupé ( C 450, 1998-2002)
The Fortwo (internal: C 450 Coupé - A 450, Cabriolet ) is a rear-wheel -drive, two-seat car with a 2.5 m length, 1.51 m width and 1.52 m height. It is powered by a ³ three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a displacement of 599 cm and a power of 33 kW ( 45 hp ), 40 kW ( 54 hp) or 45 kW (61 hp). At 135 km / h, the engine is regulated standard. In the petrol version of the Smart Fortwo consumed 5.5 to 6.5 liters of premium petrol per 100 km, depending on tires and driving style. By chip tuning the performance of the petrol engine (80 hp) is gradable to about 59 kW, thereby the electronic speed limitation is removed, thus increasing the top speed considerably. The engine is mounted behind the seats under the boot. As standard it has an ESP (up to early 2003 of a designated shape than Trust Plus and without brake intervention only by throttling and disengaging the motor responsive " emaciated " system, later as a full ESP ), ABS, airbags and a sequential automated six -speed manual transmission. The complete rear axle, together with the engine and transmission is produced in one of the four branches of the cross-shaped smart factory of ThyssenKrupp Automotive Smart. The ESP was not planned in the construction of the Smarts from the outset, only the repeated overturning of smarts when elk test - the missing, but originally planned battery in the bottom group was noticeable - led to the decision to delay the delivery of six months and a ESP system retrofit. The supporting base of the body is the so -called Tridion safety cell, at the then brand-typical other body parts and units were attached.
In November 1999, a revised chassis and the interior model has been offered. Since January 2000, the Smart Fortwo was also equipped with a common -rail diesel, internal designation OM 660, available. This engine was 0.8 liter ( 799 cc ) engine capacity at three cylinders of the smallest mass-produced passenger car diesel engine in the world, with an average fuel consumption of 3.3 l/100 km and an output of 30 kW ( 41 hp). In January 2003, the revised 2nd generation appeared the Smart Fortwo with a larger petrol engine, now with 698 cc, an output of 37 kW ( 50 hp ) or 45 kW ( 61 hp ) and extended ESP with brake application on individual wheels. Here, the suspension was revised and placed 10 mm higher, because now tying the ESP dynamic driving influences of the higher center of gravity for the umpteenth time.
The drag coefficient of the body is 0.37.
Due to its limited to 2.5 meter vehicle length fit two Smart Fortwo in a normal parking space. Also to be found in various parking garages special little smart parking (so-called " 3-meter parking ").
Whether practiced by some smart drivers cross Parking against the German road traffic regulations contrary, is controversial. From § 12 para 4 Highway Code gives no clear bid to park parallel to the road edge. The cross Parking contrary but against the Highway Code when the transverse parked car so protrudes from the parking space that the current flowing traffic is hindered and endangered. In contrast, the cross- Parking is allowed if there allow the local conditions, so either the parking space is large enough or of normal vehicles unusable "dead" space in the connection can be used to skew Parker for parking.
In Austria, the perpendicular parking of § 23 paragraph 2 violates traffic regulations.
Also, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic writes in Article 23, para 2, letter b before parallel parking, except where local conditions allow otherwise.

Brabus Fortwo
The joint venture Smart Brabus produced from 1999 Smart Fortwo models that were visually and technically refined.
The Smart Fortwo Brabus the first generation was a direct descendant of the Brabus 1st Edition, the first special model. The vehicles are equipped with an uprated 0.7 liter engine with 55 kW (75 PS), sports suspension and increased to 150 km / h electronic speed limiter. The visual changes over the standard model include special wheels with wider tires, more shaped and painted in body color sills, widened rear fenders, a revised front fascia, a centrally located double-pipe sport exhaust, and a significantly enhanced interior.
Furthermore, Brabus offered in 2005 a limited edition of 101 vehicles special model " smart fortwo Brabus - 101 " on. This special model cost 39,900 euros and offers, in addition to the comprehensive safety cell painted in Racing Red ( Ferrari red ), a 74 kW (101 hp) uprated engine. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h 11.9 s; the top speed is electronically limited at 160 km / h. Suspension and tires were adapted to this speed. Until the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show 35 vehicles were sold.
Fortwo Cabrio
The Smart Fortwo Cabrio is a Smart Fortwo Cabriolet with electric -to-open canvas roof and removable roof rails. It was introduced in March 2000. The Smart Fortwo Cabrio corresponds in its engine and equipment a Fortwo Coupé, but the basic engine the Fortwo Coupe reserved. The electric soft top can be used open in three different variants. Firstly, can the Electric roof back to the rear edge of the roof and close it again - even while driving. Next you can let fall the hood by pressing a button in a guide so that it folded then lies on the trunk lid and only by hand a few inches must be pressed down so it locks; the closing of this stage is done by electric unlocking by hand. And third, can be removed now and stow in a holder provided in the tailgate, which then gives the occupants the feeling of a convertible, the roof bars. When closed, the rear top part can be folded over the trunk lid for better of feeding. The soft top comes from Webasto. From model year 2001 ( 1st generation) got the convertible in the model variants pulse and passion a disguised with bright cloth headliner. The Smart Cabrio CDI diesel engine is the world's only 3-liter convertible into series production.
The cabrio offered from the 2007 model year the second generation (Series 451) has a heated glass rear window instead of the previous plastic window, also the top can now fully electrically down and boot up without an intermediate step. The removal of the longitudinal bars must be done by hand but still.
Cross Blade
The Smart Cross Blade is a roadster which is developed by the Bertrandt AG as general contractor and remodeled in small series of Binz from the smart fortwo cabrio & pure. He has no roof and no windscreen. Instead of conventional doors are only narrow safety bars on the sides. The Smart Cross Blade is a casual one pure fair-weather driving so-called fun car. The produced between March 2002 and December 2003 Roadster was available from June 2002 at a price of € 24,360, the number is limited to 2000 pieces. The vehicle is weatherproof and can even be driven by a conventional washing system, as several water outlets located in the vehicle and all relevant parts of the interior have been designed accordingly.
The Cross Blade with the serial number " 0001" was presented by Robbie Williams on his 2002s tour and then auctioned on eBay. Here 51049.99 Euro 2002 has been made, which went in favor of Robbie Williams Foundation " Give It Sum".
Smart K
The Smart K is a special model specifically for Japan, where it simplified registration requirements (required, for example, no parking detection in urban areas, low taxes ) for small vehicles up to 660 cubic centimeters are (K- Cars). For this reason, the top speed was electronically limited to 135 km / h.
The Smart K differs from Fortwo Coupe by a smaller width of 1,470 m ( 1,510 m normal fortwo coupé ), a weight of 750 kg ( 770 kg normal Fortwo ) and only 598 cc. It is not available as a convertible. Otherwise, interior equipment and accessories do not differ from normal Fortwo Coupe.
The production of Smart K was discontinued in 2004.
Second Generation (Series 451)
Smart Fortwo Coupe Passion mhd (C 451, 2007-2010)
(: - A 451, C 451 Cabriolet, Coupe internal) available since March 2007, the successor to the Smart Fortwo is. With this model, it is also smart to open up new markets (such as in the United States) and the compliance with all applicable legal requirements (such as pedestrian protection). The vehicle is 19.5 inches longer, but retains its character. The " cross- parking" but is usually due to the length no longer possible. On 9 November 2006, the new Fortwo was presented in Stuttgart. Almost all the technology - 90 % of the parts are new - has been revised, including a new range of engines and a new five- speed transmission that will operate much softer than the previous six-speed transmission. The price is roughly equivalent to that of the old model.
At the IAA 2005, the study " Crosstown " with the technology of the new Fortwo was shown.
In some of the properties of the second generation have been changed. The engines were more economical (eg cdi: 3.3 l/100 km instead of 3.8 l/100 km, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 88 g / km). The ride comfort is improved by the longer wheelbase, but the cross Parking is by the increased length hardly no significant impairment of traffic possible. The new transmission causes less " nod " and has five gears and two switching rolls. The speed limit is now at 145 km / h electronically limited ( 135 km / h for the diesel 155 km / h at Brabus model and ) ( 135 km / h on the previous model ).
Smart Fortwo Brabus
According to the ADAC, the smart fortwo coupe mhd pure softip 1.0 together with the Toyota Aygo, the cheapest car in the subcompact cars class (as of March 2010).
In the power levels 45 and 52 kW petrol engines of the Smart is equipped since 2008 and 2007, with a start -stop system. Although smart for the term " micro hybrid drive" (in short: " MHD " ) used the technique for lack of a second drive has nothing in common with a hybrid electric vehicle. If the driver brakes to a stop, such as at a traffic light, the system switches off the engine at a speed of less than eight km / h from independently and restarts it when the brake again. Thus, the consumption to be reduced in city traffic. A 2007 announced introduction of the system for the diesel engine was not made.
Smart electric drive, e- Smart, Smart Electric Drive (ED )
Already in 2008, were tested in a large-scale test 100 Smart ForTwo electric drive. However, this still based on the previous model. The electric version had a 30 kW motor. The range was 115 kilometers where first an automotive tested and approved sodium - nickel chloride battery or Zebra with about 250 degrees Celsius operating temperature was used. A later version had a lithium -ion battery with a capacity of 16.5 kWh The top speed was 112 kilometers per hour, the energy demand was approximately 12 kWh per 100 km. Production began in late 2009 at the Smart plant in Hambach, France. The Smart ED was first used exclusively in E- Mobility Berlin called fleet testing of electric mobility in cooperation with RWE. The vehicles were not sold, only leased to the users.
Buy interested parties could by mid-2012 only of several private companies individually to electric drive upgraded Smart. The conversion kit developed for this purpose allow a conversion of the original Verbrennerautos to electric drive in a few days.
At the IAA 2011, a revised model of the Fortwo Electric Drive was presented. This model features a 50 kW electric motor, so that the range is over 140 kilometers. The lithium -ion battery of the German ACCUmotive has a capacity of 17.6 kWh. The torque is given as 130 Nm, 60 speed is reached after 4.8, speed 100 after 11.5 seconds. The top speed is 125 km / h
Since mid- 2012, the Smart ED is available as a coupe and convertible on the market. As standard, the motor can get 55 kW. In the special model BRABUS performance is limited to 60 kW. Smart ED can be loaded on a conventional 230-V/16-A-Steckdose having up to about 11 A (2400 W) in about seven hours. With an optional charging cable with Type 2 plug the full power (charging time 6 hours) can of 3.3 kW Bordladeggerätes be used in charging columns / wall boxes. A charge of up to 22 kW is possible with an optional charger in which the charging currents can be flexibly adjusted. It reduces the charging time to about an hour. Smart specifies the range of a single charge of 145 km. The consumption is 15.1 kWh (Homepage) or 13.3 kWh (commercial ) per 100 km specified. In the ADAC test of the Smart ED consumed 13.04 kWh per 100 km. This corresponds to the energy content of 1.47 liters of petrol. The battery must when buying a Smart ED will not be bought with, but can be rented for a fixed price per month. So the new price of the vehicle can be kept low. About a smartphone app enables status ( charging, range, nearest charging station, preconditioning ) verify and control of the vehicle. 2013 existed for the Smart ED waiting lists of up to 9 months, and problems with the availability of the optional quick charger. Its availability has now been announced for the fourth quarter of 2013.
In Germany, Smart ED can also be found in the framework of research projects on the road. Thus at present in the Bremen / Oldenburg region within the framework of the research project companies Initiative for Electric Mobility ( UI Elmo ) Smart ED driven from participating companies from the region to make, among others, the topic of electric mobility known.
The Smart Fortwo ED is also integrated into the car2go concept. With this mobility concept a short-term use of vehicles on a per minute basis is possible and unlike traditional carsharing programs, rental and drop off are flexible. Currently, the majority of vehicles used is equipped with an internal combustion engine.
