The '''Fortwo''' is the original [[Smart]] model that was launched in 1998 throughout Europe as the City Coupe. The name Fortwo was introduced when Smart began to produce new models.

On June 28, 2006, [[DaimlerChrysler]] confirmed that retailer UnitedAuto Group "will be responsible for awarding potential dealerships and developing and maintaining a Smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico."

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{PAGENAME}} Review]]'''.

*A major redesign is in the works for the 2007 model year. While not yet released publicly, it is known that the car's length is being increased by some margin to meet US safety standards. However, it has been proven that the new European version is actually about as safe as a Mercedes-Benz.

*For 2008, both Coupe and Cabrio versions of the fortwo will be offered in two new [[Brabus]] trims, the basic '''Brabus''' and the '''Brabus Xclusive'''. Both are equipped with a turbocharged 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine developing 72 kW/98 bhp / 97 Hp at 5500 rpm, allowing the fortwo Brabus to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.9 sec and reach a governed top speed of 155 km/h. The '''Xclusive''' further boasts additional standard equipment like a front spoiler with enlarged air inlets, a special rear apron and heated, leather sport seats. Prices are estimated to be around UD$22,500 to US$30,600.

===Styles and Major Options===
Instead of trims or styles, fortwo has three 'lines': Pure, Passion Coupe & Passion Cabriolet.

The Pure is the basic model, providing a basic configuration and minimal extras. It is the least expensive of the three.

The Passion is considered the luxury line, with air conditioning, electric mirrors, and other specialty options including a cabriolet version.

===Engine and Transmission===
Specifications, details, graphs, pictures and other information regarding the powertrain is placed in this section.

The ForTwo model introduced in 2007 is availible with a total of four petrol engines and one diesel engines. The petrol engines are all 999 cc 3-cylinder in-line type. The European petrol models are consistist of naturally aspirated with either 61 bhp or 71 bph and turbo charged. The turbo charged model produces 84 bhp, and is also availible as a Brabus model sold officially by Smart; with 102 bhp (99 bhp in the pre 2010 facelift model) featuring several differences such as exhust system, lower and stiffer suspension, and various exterior and interior details. In 2008 the naturally aspirated engines where offered with MHD (micro hybrid drive) system, an engine start-stop system for further fuel economy. Later that year the system become part of the standard equipment on those models.

===Reliability===
The fortwo's Mercedes Benz heritage comes through here, earning the car high marks for reliability in Europe, Japan, and Canada.

===Safety===
[[Image:tridon_safety_cell.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The fortwo's tridion safety shell makes all the difference.]]
[[Image:Smart fortwo ncap main01.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Probably the biggest concern about the smart car people express is the issue of safety. In the US, 'bigger is better' is the normal rule-of-thumb when it comes to deciding which vehicle is safest. With the fortwo, that rule fast becomes becomes roadkill.

The secret to this vehicles safety rating comes from its 'Tridion Safety Cell.' This cell is designed to retain its shape in a collision, transfering much of the impact force back to the other vehicle. Also, given its size, the likelihood of striking one of the tires in a collision is high, which means the suspension helps absorb the force of the impact.

To help avoid the crash, the all fortwos come with [[Stability_control|Electronic Stability Control]] and [[Anti-Lock_Brakes_ABS|Anti-lock brakes]] as standard features. Dual [[airbag|airbags]], self-tensioning seatbelts, knee impact cushions and a collapsible steering column also come standard. Side-impact airbags are available as an option.

US Safety ratings have not yet been set, but in European ratings[http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/ratings.php?id1=1], the fortwo gets a very respectable 3-stars.

The fortwo also took honours of owning a "Good" rating, the highest rating in the roof crush test conducted by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety as it withdrew 5.4 times its weight. The car is followed by the [[Honda Fit]], [[Hyundai Accent]], [[Toyota Yaris]] and the [[MINI Cooper]]. [http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr082009.html]

===Colors===
Colors are one aspect of the Smart that is unique. While the vehicle has one primary color, the Tidion shell comes through at points, and has its own base color. In most instances, the shell is black, but in the Passion trim, the shell is also available in silver.

The rest of the vehicle is made up of interchangeable dent-resistant molded plastic panels. Much like the [[Saturn|Saturn]] lineup, these panels are solid colored, which means if they are scratched, the color remains unchanged. The best part is that you can purchase additional panels from the dealer, allowing you to change the color of your car at will.

In addition to the standard colors, smart is known for releasing limited edition colored vehicles, frequently themed to a partner. Some examples are Barbie Pink and iPod white. These limited edition vehicles often have a custom set of interior options, not available any other way.

===Main Competitors===
In the US, it is tough to define competitors, as there really is nothing specifically that matches up with the smart fortwo. The following are the closest vehicles in size and fuel efficiency.

* [[Honda_Fit|Honda Fit]]
* [[MINI_Cooper|MINI Cooper]]

Ellen Degeneres is one of the owners of the Smart fortwo.

In 2005, a swiss couple challenged a law that owners should pay only one parking fee if two cars fit in one space for 18 months.

When the Brisbane City Council followed the case, they have indicated that they'll endorce the legal parking of two cars in one spot if they fit.
