Smart Forstars Concept in Paris 2012


Smart also currently holds an attraction in Paris ready. The Forstars is an electric concept of 3.55 meters in length and can carry two people plus luggage. If you as a passenger takes a look upwards, one is also clear why we named him Forstars. Here is in fact a glass dome for star gazing and weather analysis.

Another highlight is the projector, which is located under the hood and can irradiate walls with films. Even the cover over the load space is glass, because the roof of the coupe flows seamlessly into the stern. A classic interior mirror does not exist. Therefore behind a camera has been integrated, which delivers the image to the smartphone, which is positioned just where normally is to be found the rearview mirror. Furthermore it is also possible to operate the projector, and other media.
In Smart Forstars operates an 82-horsepower electric motor, which is already known from the Smart Brabus Electric Drive. He shall bring the vehicle to a maximum of 120 km / h.
