New Smart Fortwo Edition Sharpred Brings Out its Darker Side

"Sharpred" is the name of the latest special edition model from Smart and will be available this May in a limited run of 1,800 examples as a Coupé and as a Cabrio with either a 70bhp (52kW) mhd petrol engine or an 82bhp (62kW) petrol unit.

What separates the Sharpred from its lesser Fortwo siblings is the two-tone color theme with the main body and 15-inch alloy wheels painted in black and the Tridion safety cell and door mirror housings finished in a contrasting red color.

You know you have no idea how to park – wait, actually scratch that - drive a car when you're having an extremely hard time fitting a Smart Fortwo into a spot big enough for a Cadillac Escalade and probably then some…

Hop over the break to view video that lasts close to five minutes (!) before the young woman manages to park her Lilliputian Fortwo.

The Smart Fortwo city car is entering the 2012 model year with some subtle styling revisions, most of which were previewed on the third-generation ForTwo Electric displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

On the outside, the 2012 Fortwo gets a larger radiator grille with an integrated "Smart" logo along with a new bumper design, optionally available horizontally arranged LED daytime driving lights, and modified side skirts and rear aprons.
