Smart will release a new Fort Wo in 2007.

To be launched in Europe in mid-2007, the new Smart Fortwo is said to be more comfortable, more agile and more ecological than its predecessor.

The new car retains its unmistakably tall and tiny look. The striking tridion safety cell that is one of the main safety features and the plastic body panels are still an essential part of the 'character' of this car.

The new Smart Fort wo, which is now the only model in the brand's line-up, has re-engineered, uprated Mitsubishi petrol engines and the car is now slightly larger in size. The 19.5 cm (7 inch) increase in length has been used to give better pedestrian safety and rear impact protection, as well as improved ride comfort.

The car has a newly developed transmission system, with five gears, which offers considerable advantages in terms of comfort, fuel economy and driving agility.

The Smart Fort Wo cabrio's electric soft top is an example of the enhanced comfort in the cabin. It is now fully automatic and can be infinitely adjusted to any position. This means that the rear part, too, can be opened to the final position and closed again at the touch of a button.

The car appeals to the mobile advertising industry, but does anyone else take this car seriously?
