Mercedes-Benz Smart Fortwo gets Wings

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott, together with Mercedes-Benz has created a whole new smart car. Scott has taken the Smart Fortwo and re-designed it into what can only be called a Smart ForJeremy. What makes the new Smart so different from its original design is the addition of wings that light up like igniting rocket to form Avant-garde type rear lights. The new Smart ForJeremy was unveiled at the the Los Angeles Auto Show and is set to go on sale by 2013 as a Limited Edition.

“We were totally enthusiastic about the first sketches that Jeremy presented to us”, said Dr. Annette Winkler, Head of smart, during the world premiere. “Both smart and the wings represent a bit of freedom on the crowded streets of major cities. In their respective disciplines, both the fashion designer Jeremy Scott and the smart brand are pioneering trend setters, venturing into uncharted territories and challenging the status quo."

Wings are one of the recurring design elements used by Jeremy Scott to great effect. “For me, wings mean freedom, a sense of weightlessness. Because of this, I definitely wanted to have them for the smart electric drive in order to convey the way it frees the environment of noxious emissions and symbolises the new lightness of mobility,” explains Jeremy Scott, who, in addition to his fashion collections, also creates unique costumes for pop stars such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katy Perry and Rihanna.
