Smart Crossblade
limited-edition production model the following year. Like the design study, the Crossblade had safety bars instead of doors, no roof, and a wind deflector; it weighed a little over 1,600 pounds and looked like nothing else on the road. Brabus squeezed more power of the ForTwo’s rear-mounted engine to complement the wild design. Production was limited to 2,000 units, though fewer were ultimately built. Power comes from a 599cc turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, rated at 70 horsepower and 79 lb-ft of torque. Called “M160” internally, it spins the rear wheels via a 6-speed automated-manual transmission.
Smart Crossblade Overview
The Smart Crossblade is a two-seater roadster produced by Smart from 2003 to 2006. It was based on the Smart ForTwo, but it had a number of unique features, including a roll bar instead of doors, a removable wind deflector, and a fabric roof. The Crossblade was powered by a 600cc three-cylinder engine that produced 71 horsepower. It had a top speed of 115 miles per hour and could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 11 seconds. The Crossblade was a limited-edition car, with only 2,000 units produced. It was not available in the United States. The Crossblade was a controversial car, with some people praising its unique design and others criticizing its lack of safety features. However, it is now considered a cult classic and is sought after by collectors.
