Daimler AG manufacturer smart has celebrated the tenth anniversary of its smart fortwo by rolling the one millionth smart fortwo vehicle off its production line in Hambach, Germany.
The anniversary vehicle, which is a micro hybrid drive in the passion equipment line, has been given a silver metallic colour and has a 52 kW/71 bhp engine and will be donated to charity.
Dr. Dieter Zetsche, president and chief executive of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, said: "The continuing rising demand shows the success and the potential of the smart fortwo from Hambach. This year we have already sold 90,000 cars."
He added that further smart developments are in the pipeline with a small series of smart fortwo electric drive vehicles with lithium-ion batteries expected by the end of 2009.
The smart fortwo is a rear-engined two-seater vehicle that was first debuted at the 1998 Paris Motor Show and one of its key benefits is its small size, invaluable for trying to squeeze into small parking spaces.
