After the joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch ended, the German carmaker tried to keep the Smart brand alive and introduced the second generation of this micro-car in 2007.
Smart was already famous in Europe, and its customers loved it because it could be parked everywhere due to its very small size. Just like its predecessor, the smart ForTwo's second generation was also available with an open-top version.
Slightly longer than its predecessor, the 2007 ForTwo was good for transporting two occupants inside. At the front, it featured boomerang-shaped headlights above the smiling grille. The open-top version sported a set of beams above the doors that could have been removed for a complete open-top experience. Fortunately, the trunk was big enough to host them while roaming the city with the roof folded behind the seats.
Inside, the two occupants enjoyed a roomy area. Its high seating position and the big glass area around the cabin reduced any claustrophobic sensation. Moreover, with the canvas top folded in the back, the occupants had an even better experience. However, in case of rain, it took more time to cover it due to the removable bars above the doors. That's why most customers didn't do that unless there were zero rain chances. The new instrument cluster featured a wide speedometer in front of the driver with an LCD screen at the bottom. On the top middle of the dash panel, SMART offered an option for a tachometer and a clock.
Under the trunk's floor, SMART offered a choice of gasoline or diesel engines and an MHD (micro-hybrid-drive) system that included a belt-driven starter-generator. This system helped the car increase its fuel efficiency.
