Smart is set to be even more of
a leading light with the arrival
of the smart fortwo lightshine
edition.
Based on the passion coupé
model, the striking special
edition emphasises the
enhancements to the latest new
generation smart fortwo and
reaffirms the cdi model as the
CO2 world champion
for combustion engine vehicles.
The stunning exterior of the
lightshine edition builds on the
now standard colour coded front
and rear aprons, sideskirts and
filler cap of the new passion.
Unique to the lightshine edition
are the combination of light
green matt body panels, LED
daytime running lights, colour
coded headlamp bezels,
‘lightshine’ badging and the new
pulse 3-double spoke alloys in
an exclusive paint finish.
As
with the latest smart fortwo,
the interior of the lightshine
edition benefits from new upper
dashboard and glovebox designs
along with improved materials
and new fabric patterns. The
striking special edition also
features the passion model’s
high line navigation system with
a new larger touch screen,
CD/DVD/SD functionality and iPod®
interface, while interior
finishing touches include a
sporty 3-spoke steering wheel
with paddleshift gear change and
floor mats with the ‘lightshine’
logo.
Only 86 of the smart fortwo
lightshine edition will be
produced for the UK and all will
feature the groundbreaking 54bhp
cdi engine. Using the softip
transmission of the pulse, the
lightshine edition emits just
86g/km CO2 – the
lowest figure in the world for a
combustion engine car.
“The smart fortwo lightshine
edition epitomises the values of
smart, the model offering an
unrivalled fusion of
eye-catching style, comfort and
environmental compatibility in a
fun-to-own and drive package,”
said Gary Savage, Managing
Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars.
“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
something that is both unique
and entertaining but who do not
wish to compromise on economy,
practicality and affordability.”
The smart fortwo lightshine
edition is priced at £11,405
on-the-road.
