The Tokyo car dealership did not have time and now new cars are ready for demonstration at the largest international motor show in Detroit. A little earlier, on January 5, 2012, in the official capital of India-New Delhi, another international auto exhibition starts.
Interestingly, they will show in the country with one of the most rapidly developing automobile economies and violent urbanization?
As expected, the next year will be filled with informative events and the schedule of automobile salons (auto shows, exhibitions) for the next year – ready!
At the January North American car dealership (NAAIS), Smart plans to present a small pickup. The name for us is ambiguous, either “for us”, or “for the United States”, which is more likely. It seems that the prototype is made in the back of the pickup for the sake of the Americans.
Outwardly, the smart we recognize how probably it would have been recognizable, even if the designers wanted to make a prototype of a car in the style of the legendary Jeep brand, which would undoubtedly pleased lovers of Brutal Grand Cheroki, who are used to buying auto parts a jeep from an official dealer.
Smart for us, a large prototype sketch
The image of the smart is recognizable due to small overhangs, smooth and rounded surfaces, still a characteristic two -tone coloring. So, what kind of beast is, smart with a body type – pickup?
The Smart For US electric filling is based on the electric drive that is used in Smart Fortwo expected in the spring of 2012 already in serial configuration. Equipped with a 75 horsepower with a power of 75 horsepower (55 kW), which has 100 percent of torque from zero revolutions per minute. The maximum speed developed with such an engine reaches 120 km/h
Small smart-picap-for 3.5 meters has a characteristic cargo platform capable of transporting a couple of EBIKE electric bicycles, which can be resolved from the battery of the car.
The prototype cabin is open, double, armchairs in design resemble yellow hammocks. Instead of a standard rear -view mirror, a smartphone is installed in a special holder, on which, using the integrated camera, the rear view image is displayed. An interesting and meaningless solution, a normal mirror would look more practical.
Well, the rest of the details about the beach pickup from smart, we will find out directly on the show in Detroit.
