Smart Is Winging It In LA

Smart asked fashion designer Jeremy Scott to come up with a special version of the smart fortwo electric car.  Much to the horror of Daimler engineers who were used to fashion designers submitting patches of interior materials and color schemes, Jeremy Scott did put his trademark on the car: Wings, sprouting on both sides, and likely wreaking havoc with the CW coefficient. The smart forjeremy is based on the current production version of the smart fortwo electric drive. With its 55 kW electric motor the smart fortwo electric drive accelerates from 0 – 60 km/h in 4.8 seconds, for a maximum speed of 125 km/h. The 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery enables the urban two-seater to travel approximately 145 kilometers in city traffic. "We will launch a limited special edition of the smart forjeremy in 2013″, promises Dr. Annette Winkler, Head of smart. But will it keep the wings? from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
