Next Generation smart fortwo Debut (sort of)







smart is offering the world public a first glimpse of an undisguised successor model to the current smart fortwo. During the German beach volleyball championships in Timmendorf this weekend, Pavel Zasanyok, the three-time sand sculpture world champion from Russia, built the new smart fortwo from special sand. This sculpture clearly shows the new design language and in particular the characteristic face of the new ultimate two-seater for the city.

Contrary to many reports that peg the fortwo's debut for Geneva, look for the fortwo in the flesh later this year (press previews) and on sale in Europe next spring. Customers in the USA won't be able to drive off until 2008, but they should be thankful that they are getting the chance at all!
