Smart ForTwo and ForFour will be present at the Paris Motor Show 2012

The list of innovations that we will meet at the 2012 Paris Motor Show is already wide enough for us not to miss any detail of what will happen in the French capital at the end of September. There we meet the next generation of Volkswagen Golf, the new Mitsubishi Mirage or the Peugeot HR1, models that look along with new products for Smart, which is likely to come in the form of Concept Car
New generation of Smart ForTwo
In many ways it was announced that the brand managed by Mercedes, and has collaborated with Renault in its latest developments, submit a Smart ForTwo which will feature many of the elements that we have known in experimental models such as the Smart ForVision Concept and Fours Smart Study, characters in recent lounges in Frankfurt and Detroit respectively. These two proposals have marked the development of the new Smart ForTwo, which will feature new engines and will be manufactured on a new platform.
According to those information’s, it is precisely within this Smart ForTwo more noticeable where the partnership with Renault as the French firm has been involved from the outset in the design and development of this new platform. A new platform that will be three types of bodywork such as the standard coupe and convertibles, and up to five different equipment options for the third generation of one of the most recognizable cars in the automobile market.
Secrecy around the Smart ForFour
If in the case of the Smart ForTwo we do have a lot of data on its development and evolution, everything changes when talking about the new Smart ForFour, against which maintains secrecy. For now, we have little more about him than any image of their first demos and why the announcement of his arrival in production occurred already in 2010 by one of the top managers of the firm.
However, after two years since that comment, are not yet finalized the details about the new developments in the Smart ForFour. However, the work may have been accelerated in recent months as though it thought would not be filed until the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, is given as probably its presence in the Paris Motor Show this year next to the Smart ForTwo.
