Smart近日发布了2016款Fortwo敞篷版，该车将在法兰克福车展与公众见面。这款基于Smart硬顶版的敞篷车采用了人们熟悉的设计，但B柱更小，同时应用了更先进的tridion安全车体。不过该车最大变化是采用了电动折叠软顶，打开仅需12秒。车厂为软顶敞篷提供了黑色/蓝色/红色三种颜色供消费选择，同时配备玻璃后窗。2016款Fortwo敞篷版在上市之初可提供两台三缸引擎，功率和扭矩分别为52千瓦/71马力91牛米和66千瓦/90马力/135牛米，可搭配五速手动或双离合器变速器。为提升性能，该车的车身抗扭强度提升了15%，为此，工程人员对底盘进行了强化处理，增加了横杠，双扭力隔板，A柱采用高硬度钢管。该车将于今年11月开始在德国接受预订，首批车辆将于明年2月开始交付。

 

New Smart Fortwo Cabrio unveiled, debuts in Frankfurt

Smart has introduced the new Fortwo Cabrio ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

 

Based on the Fortwo coupe, the convertible features a familiar design but adopts a smaller B-pillar and a "more progressive" tridion safety cell. However, the biggest change is the addition of a power retractable canvas roof which opens in just 12 seconds. The roof is available in three different colors - black, blue denim and red - and features a glass rear windscreen. 

 

At launch, the model will be offered with two different three-cylinder engines that have outputs of 71 PS (52 kW) and 91 Nm (67 lb-ft) of torque as well as 90 PS (66 kW) and 135 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque. They can be connected to either a five-speed manual or an automatic twinamic dual clutch transmission.

 

On the topic of performance, Smart says the model's torsional strength has been increased by approximately 15 percent. In order to achieve this, engineers added a number of chassis reinforcements including a crossover bar, two torsional bulkheads and high-strength steel tubes in the A-pillars.

 

The Fortwo Cabrio will go up for order in Germany in November and the first delivers are scheduled for February.
