New Car: 2012 Smart ForTwo Iceshine Special Edition


Though small in size, Smart makes a big statement with its special-edition cars. As things start to heat up this summer, Smart will stay cool with a new Fortwo model called the Iceshine Edition that’s available this month for preordering in Europe.

The Iceshine edition Smart Fortwo will be available in two colors when it arrives in dealers in October: azure blue and white. White alloy wheels will have a new three-spoke design, while LED daytime lights and a special logo near the side mirrors distinguish the special edition. Inside, the Iceshine’s black leather seats are contrasted by white fabric backrests and white cross-stitching. The stitching also appears on the three-spoke leather steering wheel, and white rings on certain gauges further offset the black cabin. Paddle shifters, air conditioning, and a panoramic sunroof come standard, while navigation and a Brabus sport steering wheel are optional.

Though Europeans get to choose between the two colors mentioned above, Americans will only get the all-white version, which will also include power steering, and heated seats. Changes are cosmetic; the diminutive car’s 70-hp 1.0-liter I-3 remains untouched. Limited to 1800 cars worldwide, just 300 models are allocated for the U.S. The Smart Fortwo Iceshine edition goes on sale here this fall.
