2011 Smart Fortwo Lightshine Edition
Smart is offering a new special edition of its Fortwo city car that has CO2 emissions of only 86g/km. Dubbed the Smart Fortwo Lightshine, this car is powered by a 54bhp, 0.8-litre, three-cylinder CDI engine. Smart claims that this is the cleanest combustion-engined car in the world. The Lightshine is based on the Passion coupé model and it features light green matte body panels, LED daytime running lights, color-coded headlamp surrounds, Lightshine badging and bespoke alloy wheels.
The Lightshine also includes a touch-sensitive satellite navigation system (as found in the top-spec Passion), CD/DVD/SD functionality and iPod connectivity. Its interior has been fitted with a three-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles and floor mats with an embedded Lightshine logo. Only 86 units will be made and all these are destined for the UK. Notably, the 86 number is in reference to its CO2 emissions rating. The Lightshine has a starting price of £11,405.
“Based on the cdi, the lightshine edition demonstrates how the innovative brand continually evolves to meet customers’ requirements, the special edition being the perfect choice for today’s car buyers who wish to drive somehing that is both unique and entertaining but who do not wish to compromise on economy, practicality and affordability.” said Gary Savage, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars.
