Automobiles or cars are one of the most prevalent means of transportation in the present world and with the progress of time and enhancement of scientific technologies, various newer and innovative models of cars have emerged. The smart car was designed by Swiss watch maker Swatch. These cars were constructed with the engineering and quality we know from Mercedes – but with the exceptional design from Swatch. The company specializes in making inexpensive, high quality products that can be relied on. They have been in business since 1988 and sell products in 36 countries. The smart car is amazingly economical getting between 40-50 miles per gallon.
The Smart car was first introduced in Europe and has very recently made its way to the United States. Many car experts where surprised at the cars introduction to the American market as Americans tend to like bigger cars and prize style over practicality. Unite these two together and they created what was plainly known as the Smart City-Coupe – which was created for the European urban public. Not only were they created to let for better parking – but also to improve gas mileage. Smart vehicles are built around a high stregth steel roll cage and are engineered to evenly distribute impacts. Smart vehicles have achieved one of highest crash ratings possible.
There are a handful of different models of the smart car besides the fortwo. There is the forfour, the roadster, the crossblade, the crosstown, the formore, and the smart ev. The smart ev is only in a trial period right now and is being planned on a launch in the United Kingdom sometime in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The ‘Roadster Coupe’ as shown at the 2000 Paris motor show was already on its way to production form. It shared the design of the Roadster from the doors forward, but had a glass targa roof and rear structure resembling a very small estate (station wagon) in the same way as the BMW Z3 coupe and the Saab 9X concept car developed under Mauer at Saab a few years later.
The smart forfour is the first car in its segment to combine the functionality of a small car with the emotional appeal of a young car brand. Thanks to its flexible interior, the sporty four-seater is extremely versatile, clearly illustrating that the core brand values of innovation and functionality are consistently implemented by smart. The smart forfour will go on sale in the UK in autumn 2004.
The face of the smart crossblade is characterised by metal radiator grilles at the front. Instead of conventional doors, the smart crossblade is equipped with steel safety bars at passenger shoulder height.
