2014 Smart ForTwo mule spied testing in Death Valley, inspired by 2011 ForVision concept

Counting more than one month until you open the gates of the Frankfurt Motor Show and manufacturers have taken to the streets with models to be shown to be possible production!

Turn in the queue begins to form is the Smart which reportedly will present two different preview concepts, one for the tiny 2014 Smart ForTwo and one for larger ForFour . Both will share the platform of the Renault Twingo third generation will go into production next year.

Starting from the ForTwo, for now we know that as in previous generations, will be offered as either a coupe, cabriolet or as a fabric roof. Move will get a brand new three-cylinder 0.9-liter engine with direct injection, advanced by Mercedes which gives 85 atmospheric or 105 supercharged horses. Clear information about the boxes we have but it looks will be offered as an extra and a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox and the works that are heard and one pure electric, E-Drive , version with electric motor performance 90 horses and lithium ion batteries. At present, the company has shut its diesel engines but to go into production is not excluded anything.

Regarding the ForFour, length 3.550mm, height 1.701mm and 2.470mm wheelbase can move 4 people with relative ease, as indicated by its name also. The engines are still not clear but it will definitely include a stronger version of the three-cylinder 0.9-liter found in the ForTwo.

As stated by Dieter Zetsche of Mercedes-Benz, the whole range of Smart will be based on the same platform, while not impossible to see such a crossover based on the ForFour and a small SUV, similar in dimensions to the MINI Countryman.
