The new Smart fortwo cabrio will make its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

The open-top two-seater  will be available for ordering from mid-November and the first models will reach dealers in February 2016.

Described as ‘three cars in one’, at the touch of a button the new cabrio is transformed from a closed two-seater into a car with a large sliding canvas sunroof, or a fully fledged cabriolet with the soft top completely open.

 "Our new smart cabrio really exudes joie de vivre in the city – which is what our brand stands for," says Dr Annette Winkler, head of Smart. "I am sure that we will delight our present 220,000 cabrio customers and win lots of new fans with this successful lifestyle icon."
