LONDON — Subtlety is the key word as Smart marks 10 years of sales in the United Kingdom with the Smart Fortwo gb-10 edition. The understated special model will makes its public debut on September 4 at the Smart festival here.
The special model is priced at the U.S. equivalent of $16,573. Smart said it will build just 100 units of the Fortwo gb-10 edition.
The Fortwo gb-10 gets a silver metallic exterior paint job to celebrate the brand’s “shining performance” in the U.K. The automaker said it has sold 75,000 Smarts here in 10 years.
The Smart-Brabus customization division put its hand to the special model. Details include Brabus monoblock VII 15-inch alloy wheels, Brabus LED daytime running lights and Brabus LED third brake light. The “gb-10″ badging can be found on the Brabus gear knob and handbrake.
The cabin gets “Rosso” red leather seats. Standard equipment includes a Pioneer sound and navigation system, air-conditioning, power windows and panoramic roof.
Inside Line says: Smart move not to drape this special model in the Union Jack, à la Mini. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
