Smart ForJeremy unveiled -- will be sold as limited edition in 2013

Outrageous concept cars are a part of every car show. Mercedes-Benz had its Advanced Design Studio in California team up with fashion designer Jeremy Scott for eight months to create a limited edition of the ForTwo EV city car for this year's LA Auto Show.
Head of Mercedes-Benz and Smart design Gorden Wagener explains:

“Co-operations with fashion designers are normally limited to selecting interior materials and interior and exterior colour schemes. With Jeremy Scott, however, we wanted to go one step further and integrated the typical wings as a central design element in the vehicle body. This was quite a challenge, because it was not just a case of creating a showcar but rather of creating a near-series study with the potential for licensing it for road use in the future.”

Actually, the winged ForTwo is scheduled to go on sale, as head of Smart Dr Anette Winkler confirmed: “We will launch a limited special edition in 2013”, she said, adding that “I really look forward to cruising the city in this item of haute couture.”

As you can see in the detailed image gallery that follows, the ForJeremy features a bright white bodywork while the Tridion safety cell, the frame of the grille and the “eyebrows” above the headlights are chrome plated and the white-against-chrome theme continues in the cabin.

Additionally, the alloy wheels are shaped, according to Smart, like airplane propellers and then, of course, there’s the non-too-subtle winged treatment of the rear end.

Under the wings skin, Smart’s fashion-conscious city car is based on the all-electric version of the ForTwo. It features a 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 74HP (55 kW) electric motor that offers a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) acceleration time of just 4.8 seconds, a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph) and a maximum range of “approximately” 145 km (90 miles).

Jeremy is the most serious looking faux-angel I've ever seen.

For a second I thought they had styled it for this man...

[TheDarkEnergist]

THAT is gorgeous. But as far as everything else? Stop it now. Very bad.

Are we sure carscoop didn't pick up an Onion story and run with it like The People's Daily?

[Project_2501]

That's under the "wouldn't be caught dead in" category..

And I don't mind the standard car, so long as the color choices are sensible.

Dear God, WHY? Smart wasn't able to sell or lease the even half of the original 250 smart EVs they brought in in 2011--who will pay what's likely a $10,000 premium for one that looks like ass in 2013?

0-60 in 4.8?? That a typo?

[Wimbledon]

0-60 in 4.8?? That a typo?

The correct stat is 0-60 km/h in 4.8 s.

0-60 mi/h in 11.5 s.

The people in the ad look like the type of people I would imagine purchase Smart cars

[czykvw]

Smart is so desperate. They keep milking the same car. They add wings and of a sudden its a "whole new smart"

I actually think the package is kinda cool- pretty unique styling. minus the wings, of course, those are just retarded.

Doesn't get much more Euro than this.

Is he that intimidating?

x2. The interior improvements are appealing.

[6cylVWguy]

I didn't think anything could be gayer than a miata. This thread has proven me wrong.

[JThw8]

I'm one of the few advocates of smart cars around here and even I gotta say I think I threw up in my mouth a bit.

I like the chromed tridon cell though.

[vdub07]

Saweeet! Any guesses on pricing?

[r_fostoria]

Yep, came in expecting a smart car with a V8 Brabus quad turbo and quilted leather upholstery.

Leaving... well, you can imagine....

[Lwize]

Unless The Onion is designing cars now, this is awesome.

The interior looks great and the flaming taillights are so outrageous it has to happen.

[Double-V]

Doesn't get much more ass-reamingly ghey than this.

Wise words, sir!

[Hostile]

Wow, that is flamboyant.

[turbinepowered]

Wow, that is flamboyant.
