Smart tells us that its new Forstars Concept is a Sports Utility Coup. We're pretty sure that's a misnomer. After all, the electric powertrain, while supremely efficient, isn't a powerhouse. Plus, with room for just two occupants and a golf bag plus toiletries, utility doesn't really seem to be its forte either.
So, what is the Smart Forstars good for? Well, judging from our image gallery, it makes an excellent prop for impossibly cute auto show models to lean against. Plus, it's got a completely clear roof, which is how it got its name you can stare at the stars... get it? Oh, and it also sports an integrated projector on its hood for impromptu drive-in movie nights.
Power comes from a 60-kW electric motor and 17.6-kWh lithium ion battery pack, and Smart claims a top speed of 80 miles per hour.
As you can see, the exterior, which reportedly previews the automaker's future design direction, is painted in a bright hue that Smart calls Alubeam Rouge, and the interior is finished in white, red and matching orange. Check out the nifty projector feature in the official video below and be sure to peruse the official press release while you're at it.
