There’s good news for anyone who likes their convertible cars with an added helping of tiny, because Smart has confirmed an open-top ForTwo.
The minuscule 2.69-metre ForTwo Cabrio is destined for showrooms in early 2016, complete with a triple-layer fabric roof that can be electrically lowered or raised in 12 seconds, at any vehicle speed.
It has a glass rear screen for convenience, while the roof side bars detach and slot into the tailgate itself, meaning they take up zero boot space.
Black is the standard colour for the soft-top, but a red one can replace it for £115, and a compact wind deflector can be added for £59.
Otherwise, the £13,265 car will share the same specifications and equipment as the hard-top ForTwo.
Engine options include a 70bhp starter and a turbocharged upgrade with 89bhp, the latter of which adds £595. There are two gearboxes covering manual and twin-clutch automatic (£995).
It keeps the same amazing 6.95-metre turning circle thanks to thin tyres and a rear-mounted engine, making it more manoeuvrable in town than a London Black Cab.
Passion, Prime and Proxy have been confirmed as the trim level choices, mirroring the hard-top ForTwo range. Luxurious Prime and sporty Proxy add £695 to the base price, moving the design and technology off in slightly different directions.
Premium and Premium Plus packages are also available, for £795 and £1,295 respectively, taking the car’s maximum theoretical price to more than £17,500 after options added for paint and safety cell colours.
