TORONTO, ON (February 11, 2009) ? smart Canada unveiled today a special
10th Anniversary Edition smart fortwo during the 2009 Canadian
International Auto Show in Toronto, which is being held from February
13-22.
Based on the smart fortwo BRABUS coup?, which also made its regional
premiere today at the Canadian International Auto Show, the 10th
Anniversary Edition is limited to just 10 units that will be hand tailored
at the state-of-the-art BRABUS facility in Bottrop, Germany. This exclusive
model boasts unique design elements including special Arctic Grey Metallic
paint, and a hand assembled interior that is trimmed in Chalet brown
leather with contrasting grey Alcantara piping and stitching. This special
leather trim also covers the kneepad, door panel, gear shift knob,
handbrake handle and steering wheel.
The exterior styling of the 10th Anniversary Edition smart fortwo is
further differentiated by BRABUS monoblock VII wheels, 15? front and 17?
rear, that are painted flat black, and limited edition 10th Anniversary
logos that are affixed on the A-pillars and the rear tail gate.
The 10th Anniversary Edition is powered by a compact, three-cylinder 70 hp
engine and features the same sport tuned exhaust system and sport chassis
designed for the smart fortwo BRABUS. The luxurious interior features
stylish velour floor mats embroidered with the ?edition? logo and many
other upgrades from the top-of-the-line smart fortwo, including additional
dashboard instruments and brushed aluminium sports pedals.
Truly an exclusive offering, this special 10th Anniversary Edition is an
appropriate way for smart to mark 10 years of defining a new car category.
smart Canada is keen to engage the public in the celebration of this
important milestone, which is why it recently launched a national contest
that will give away one of the 10th Anniversary Edition vehicles as the
grand prize. More information about the contest can be found at:
www.winwithsmart.ca.
With one vehicle already earmarked for the contest, the nine remaining
models will be available for purchase through a reservation lottery that
opens to the public on February 12, 2009. Nine entrants will be drawn
randomly at the end of April and these lucky reservation holders will have
the opportunity to take delivery of their new 10th Anniversary Edition at
their local smart Centre in May.
