Smart ForTwo Disney Edition to be sold in Japan

Claimed to be the first special edition car in the automotive industry to feature a Disney character, Smart ForTwo is geared up to make its foray in the Japanese market. What makes this special edition car different from the other Smart ForTwo units is that it carries the same color patterns as Disney’s iconic character, Mickey Mouse.         

The Smart ForTwo Special Edition model will be finished in a combination of four colours associated with the famous mouse. Yellow will be used for the car’s mirrors, black for its tridion cell, white for its wheels, and red for its body. Inside, this special edition model will flaunt leather seats embroidered with the ‘Edition Disney’ logo.

This special edition model hasn’t received any mechanical updates, and comes powered with the same magneto electric motor which works in conjunction with a 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to produce 74.8PS of power and 130Nm of torque. The Smart ForTwo Disney Edition sprints from 0-100kmph in 11.5 seconds with a top-speed of 125kmph. It takes seven hours to refill the battery with the regular charger once it is depleted, but in select markets Smart is offering an optional 22 kW on-board charger which fills up the battery in only 60 minutes.

Developed through the Brabus tailor-made program, the model will retail at Rs 3.9 crore in Japan, and will be sold in 40 examples with deliveries commencing from December. The new generation Smart ForTwo that was showcased in July this year, is also set to be launched soon.
