June 12, 2008

Smart Fortwo 'bionic' cabrio

A micro hybrid drive, this car, from Daimler AG, is a two-door convertible, two-seater. There are three roof removal options and one can set it to any position one wants while the car is in motion with flick of a switch.

Production delivery of the car is expected in 2010. It will feature 30 kW (41 hp) output and a top speed of 70 mph (112 kmph). It will be capable of 0-30 mph (0–48 kmph) in 6.5 seconds.

This electric car can travel up to 72 miles (116 km) between charges. It typically takes about 8 hours for a full charge. It is priced at $22,900.
