Smart Fortwo W450 1999
The Smart Fortwo is a rear-engined two-seater city car manufactured by Daimler AG, introduced at the 1998 Paris Motor Show as the Smart City Coupé, and currently in its second generation. The Smart electric drive, an all-electric version, was introduced in 2007, and 2,000 second-generation electric cars were produced between 2009 and 2012.
The first generation, model W450, first appeared in 1998. It was replaced in 2002 by a facelift version.
The engines are turbocharged with three cylinders. Originally the basic petrol engine was 599 cc, and came in three versions - 45 hp (33 kW), 51 hp (41 kW) and 61 hp (45 kW). The engine displacement was increased to 698 cc with the facelift in 2002, in 37 kW (50 hp) and 45 kW (61 hp) variants. The turbo-diesel engine had 799 cc displacement giving 30 kW (41 hp).
The Fortwo's nameplate derives from its seating capacity.
