But is it a champion of the drag strip? Against some of the fastest cars in the city?! Well, there's only one way to find out. For more information on the smart fortwo electric drive visit thesmartcityproject.ca ] This year Smart is at it again. This time it's the Fortwo electric drive finding itself on the drag strip against three high-performance vehicles including a Ford Mustang and Porsche Boxster. Smart shows the Fortwo electric get demolished each time, and it's not even close. In this day and age, advertisement creativity is essential. Smart has always been known for its unique campaigns, and it's not afraid to showcase what its cars can or cannot do. This time last year, Smart unveiled a video with the Smart Fortwo failing at every off-road mission, but flourishing through the city streets. This year Smart is at it again. This time it's the Fortwo electric drive finding itself on the drag strip against three high-performance vehicles including a Ford Mustang and Porsche Boxster. Smart shows the Fortwo electric get demolished each time, and it's not even close. However, the video takes a turn in the end, focusing on the start of each race where the Smart Fortwo beats all three competitors in the first five metres. The aim of the advertisement is centred around the Smart Fortwo being a city car and how the vehicle works best in its element. Under busy city traffic, the Smart can get you past those parked cars on the right side of the road, as well as those other drivers who are simply on a slow day trip. And it goes without saying how easily a Smart Fortwo can fit in the smallest of parking spots. The advertisement is clever considering it's hard to find any open roads in today's congested city streets. The Smart Fortwo takes on a big advantage in the first five metres, thanks to all of its torque being available immediately upon acceleration. The Smart Fortwo is currently in its third-generation and is offered in electric drive coupé and cabriolet form, starting at $26,990 for the coupé.
