In the future of Smart the city car Fortwo will continue to perform a crucial role. Word of the head of design Gorden Wagener, who added that the Daimler group brand has already started design work on a new version of the car: its development is currently being carried out with the code name Project Twowhile the name #2 was reserved for the production version of the car.
The heir to the Smart Fortwo
As reported by Autocar, Smart engineers are currently working to find or create one platform suitable for the new #2. “Two months ago, we started work on a new dedicated platform to support a future two-seater city car, but we need partners to make its business case feasible,” admitted Smart CEO Dirk Adelmann. Recall that the previous generation Fortwo, as well as the larger Forfour, retired in 2023, shared its platform with the outgoing Renault Twingo.
Not just SUVs and city cars?
Smart's goal is now to succeed in creating the new car profitably. “The stronger the brand, the more you can play with it. And we at Smart have this freedom”, added Wagener, specifying that the new #2 will remain a similar proposal to its predecessors in terms of style. In addition to this new city car, should we expect anything else from Smart? “We have city cars and SUVs, so what else is left? A sports car, a two-seater, a limousine? We'll have to see“concluded Wagener.
