Revell 07331 Smart

The Smart Fortwo is a German mini passenger car that was presented to the public for the first time at the beginning of 1998. Its serial production started in 1998 and is still going on. The car was powered - depending on the version - by a narrow range of gasoline engines with a displacement of 0.6 to 1.0 liters. Production took place or is still taking place mainly in the city of Hambach in France.

The originator of the Smart Fortwo car was the Swiss entrepreneur Nicolas Hayek, who established cooperation in this matter with the automotive concern Daimler AG. In 1994, Smart GmbH was founded in the city of Böblingen. From the very beginning, it was assumed that the Smart Fortwo would be a very small car, powered by a low-power and very economical engine, intended primarily for driving in large urban agglomerations. So far, three generations of this car have been made, the last of which debuted on the market in 2014. Cars of this generation are 2.7 meters long, with a wheelbase of 1.87 meters, and are powered by a 0.9 or 1.0 liter engine.
