Smart is showing today yet another special edition of the ForTwo, called the smart pulse. The smart pulse is supposed to be an even more dynamic version of the sportier ForTwo currently in the model range. Careful! They said more dynamic, not more powerful. The smart pulse comes with newly designed front and rear aprons together with re-styled side skirts. In general, the smart pulse has sharper contours, 3-double-spoke alloy wheels with wider tires, and black door mirror caps and radiator grille.
The smart pulse will be available as a coupe and cabriolet and with a choice between three engines: 52 kW (71 hp) petrol mhd with micro hybrid drive technology and 40 kW (54 hp) diesel fitted with a diesel particulate filter as
standard. If you really want your smart pulse to be more dynamic though, you should choose the most powerful engine available, the 62 kW (84 hp) turbo petrol.
The smart pulse price list has not been announced yet, but the car maker says it will be available for ordering from February 1st. The first deliveries of the smart pulse will begin in April 2011.
smart Press Release:
smart pulse to get a stronger profile from April 2011: Sharper contours
The smart pulse is celebrating spring with a sharper profile, making this dynamic variant of the smart model series even sportier. The front and rear aprons and the side skirts of the bodypanel plus sports package, which is included in the standard spec, have a new design with sharper contours. The sharper smart pulse will be available from smart dealers from April 2011. It can be ordered from
1 February.
The pulse is the dynamic smart with a distinct
sporty flair that will be even more pronounced in future. This is due to the more angular geometry of the new skirts that are painted in the bodypanel colour as standard. Boasting 3-double-spoke alloy wheels with wide tyres measuring 175/55 R 15 at the front and 195/50 R 15 at the rear, and door mirror caps and radiator grille in black, the smart pulse, which is available as a coupé and a cabrio, leaves no doubt as to its position among its siblings with its compact and dynamic design promising sporty motoring both in and out of town. The most powerful engine – the optionally available turbo petrol engine rated at 62 kW (84 hp) – is ideal for this.
The smart pulse also boasts a sporty interior. It comes with a 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with additional shift paddles which make shifting with manual softip gearshift a real pleasure. The black fabric/ leather look of the upholstery and the pearl black contrast components underline the dynamic appearance.
The fortwo pulse can be ordered as a coupé or a cabrio with the following three engine versions:
52 kW (71 hp) petrol mhd with micro hybrid drive technology
62 kW (84 hp) turbo petrol engine
40 kW (54 hp) diesel fitted with a diesel particulate filter as standard.
