Smart launches new ForTwo Lightshine special edition

Smart's recently-facelifted ForTwo is now available as a 'Lightshine' special edition.

It's based on the CDI diesel, which is the lowest emitting diesel on sale in the UK, emitting  just 86g/km CO2.

Lightshine models are based on Passion specification and get a combination of light green matt body panels, LED daytime running lights, colour coded headlamp bezels, ‘Lightshine' badging and the new pulse 3-double spoke alloys in an exclusive paint finish.

The interior of the Lightshine Edition benefits from new upper dashboard and glovebox designs along with improved materials and new fabric patterns that come with all facelifted models. However, buyers also get a navigation system with a new larger touch screen, CD/DVD/SD functionality and iPod interface, while interior finishing touches include a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel with paddleshift gear change and floor mats with the ‘lightshine' logo.

Only 86 of the Smart Fortwo Lightshine editions will be produced for the UK and all will feature the 54bhp CDI engine. Prices start at £11,405 on-the-road.
