Smart are known for pushing the envelope and making unique cars. They continue this tradition with the introduction of the Smart For-Us concept, which redefines what a pickup should be and makes its world premier at the North American International Auto Show. The Smart For-Us focuses on low emissions, taking up minimum road space and practicality.
The Smart For-Us is, as you would expect, very small. It measures 3547mm long, 1506mm wide and 1701mm height. This diminutive size allows the For-Us to reach areas that are usually out of bounds for normal sized cars, including traffic-calmed zones or isolated park trails.
The Smart For-Us comes with a 55 kW magneto-electric motor and enough space for two people as well as two smart ebikes behind them. The drive is based on the innovative drive concept used in the Smart ForTwo electric drive which will be launched in 2012. Smart note how the car will be agile and fun to drive, with 130 Nm of torque and lag-free acceleration. Meaning over-taking should be no problem at all. Testament to this performance, the car can reach speeds in excess of 120km/h.
