In this recent video released by Smart, the company talks about its latest innovations featured on the Smart Forvision, a concept developed together with BASF (world’s largest chemical company).
The car will premiere in Frankfurt next week and the most interesting aspects about it are represented by the special wheels and seats made from advanced lightweight plastic. Combined with a special foam padding, these plastic seats are lighter than the ones made from aluminium and Smart says they are also very stable. The plastic used on the rims helps reduce weight per wheel by around 3 Kg, and is currently undergoing testing for future production.
Overall these innovative feature will help future road-going Smart models become more efficient and with a faster acceleration, so therefor more fun.
