The Mercedes-Benz 240D was perhaps the most durable diesel-powered Mercedes ever to hit the market. It had a successful production run from 1974 to 1985 with 454,780 units sold worldwide. In 1981 alone, 73,162 240Ds left showrooms. At its launch, Mercedes marketed the 240D model as its most luxurious. It was also the most expensive model at $7,712 ($33,707 in 2010 dollars.)

Origins
Mercedes-Benz has a long history of producing diesel-powered passenger cars and trucks. The 240D's origins date to 1934 when Mercedes engineers modified a gasoline-powered commercial in-line six-cylinder engine into a 2.6-liter four-cylinder diesel with a five-bearing crankshaft and overhead valves. The result was the 260D six-seat Pullman passenger car launched in 1936 with a maximum range of ...

Features Transmission and shifting performance The smart features an automated manual transmission without a clutch pedal, 6-speed for the first generation, 5-speed for the second. Input from floor-mounted shifter or optional steering wheel-mounted paddles controls a servo-operated clutch and sequential automated gearbox. The vehicle may be driven in automatic mode, though the shift points are not as smooth as in a traditional automatic transmission. In paddle shifter mode, the operator controls the shift points but cannot feather or adjust the speed of the clutch. Thus some skill, and a slight lifting of the accelerator pedal, is required to achieve a smooth shift. In 2009 Smart issues Smart 2.0, which is an upgrade to the ECU free of charge. This allows gear changes in ‘Automatic’ to be smoother and faster. This was done to 2008 Smarts, along with a new battery in certain vehicles only, as the 2009 and onwards Smarts already have it installed at the factory.[citation needed] Parking An example of smart fortwo compact parking The smart car allows back-in parking in otherwise parallel parking zones; its length of 250 cm (98.4 in) equals the width of a truck or a regular parking slot, allowing two or three Smarts to park in a standard space reserved for a single car. However, this type of parking has been banned in Munich, Germany, amongst other places. Such parking in parallel-designated spaces is illegal in most U.S.A jurisdictions.[citation needed] Current model is 269 cm (106.1 Inches). Identity and registration The smart features interchangeable body panelshereby one car can easily assume a different look. To accommodate a licensing agent’s notation of a vehicle’s color, the fortwo is sometimes registered as ‘silver’ or ‘black’ based on the Tridion frame color, which remains constant regardless of the body panels.

Originally, the base petrol engine had 599 cc, but displacement increased to 698 cc with an early restyling. It was available in 37 kW (50 hp) or 45 kW (61 hp) variants. The turbodiesel engine has 799 cc displacement with 30 kW (40 hp). Engines are mounted in the rear of the vehicle. Models The fortwo is available with targa-style removable roof panels (originally city cabrio, now fortwo cabrio), introduced in 2000, and was restyled in 2002. Model variants include the base model Pure, sporty mid-spec model Pulse coupe, and luxury top-spec model Passion Cabriolet.

With a consumption of 3.3 litres (NEDC) per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of just 88 grams per kilometre, it has the lowest current production car CO2 emissions worldwide, since Audi’s and Volkswagen’s retired “3 litre” cars, the A2 1.2 TDI and the Lupo 1.2 TDI respectively. Crossblade: a 2002 limited-edition variant of the city cabrio, a roadster without a windshield, roof or conventional doors, limiting its use. Its weight was still 740 kilograms (1,600 lb). The Brabus-tuned engine developed 52 kW (71 PS) from its 599 cc engine. After Robbie Williams purchased Crossblade number 008, smart began a marketing association with the British singer, using Williams to promote the brand and the new ForFour. Crosstown: a convertible with a foldable windshield based on the fortwo, was presented at IAA Frankfurt in 2005. No plans have yet been announced to bring this model to market. Michalak C7: a sports car using mostly ForTwo parts. Nightrun: includes instrument panels, steering wheel, paddles, shifter, Monoblock VI alloy wheels, leather seats and engine upgrade from Brabus.

The Addition of an iPod cradle which held a special edition 20Gb G3 iPod, and an aluminium name plate on the dash confirmed its special edition status. Forfun2 Concept: an off-road version of the fortwo introduced at the 2005 Athens Motor Show by Greek 4×4 Rally Champion Stefan Attart. The forfun 2 Concept combines the body of a fortwo with the chassis and drivetrain of a Unimog. It sports monster truck-like 26-inch wheels wrapped in 140 cm diameter tires and winding keys where the fortwo’s rear wheels are supposed to be. Brabus: In the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, Smart introduced the Brabus version of the Smart Fortwo, It has 98 PS (72 kW; 97 hp) of power and 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 9.9 seconds with top speed electrically limited at 155 km/h (96 mph) Smart K: The smart K was launched in October of 2001, exclusively for the Japanese market. It was designed exclusively to fit the Japanese kei car regulations by adopting specially developed rear fenders and shortening the track width and tire dimensions. As a result, with the width reduced to 1,470 mm, the smart K complies with the Japanese kei car regulations. Also, the engine displacement remains unchanged from 598 cc, as specified in the standard. Safety features include ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and BAS (Brake Assist System) as standard. The Smart K also facilitates the driver’s starting procedure with the Hill Start Assist that makes a starts on inclined planes easier. The Smart K was discontinued as of November, 2004. smart ForTwo Edition Limited One: Featured special edition “pyrite grey metallic” body work with contrasting silver Tridion Safety cell.

Engine and fuel economy The new 999 cc version 3B21 (2007 onwards) is produced by Mitsubishi Motors and it comprises normally aspirated (NA) and turbo versions. The NA 999 cc engine has 11.4:1 compression ratio and premium fuel (95+ RON) is recommended. It is rated at 71 hp (53 kW). The US NA 999 cc engine has a 10:1 compression ratio and premium fuel (91 Octane) is recommended. German tuner company Brabus, in a joint venture with Smart, has developed a version with 72 kW (98 hp) and 140 Nm torque, available in Europe only at this time. European Union (EU) testing rates the 999 cc Smart at 4.7 L/100 km (60 mpg-imp; 50 mpg-US) for the gasoline model and 3.4 L/100 km (83 mpg-imp; 69 mpg-US) for the diesel.[citation needed] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the vehicle at 36 mpg-US (6.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg-imp) combined. Concept The smart fortwo’s length is 8 ft 10 in (2.69 m) (second generation). An exposed, rigid steel frame, marketed as the “Tridion” frame, surrounds and protects the passenger compartment while defining the car’s shape and designnd allowing for interchangeable plastic body panels to complete the exterior. With a weight of 730 kg (1,609 lb), it is one of the lightest cars in the European market. Safety The Smart is equipped with seat-mounted combination side airbags as well as electronic stability control. To maximize the front crumple zone, the smart fortwo’s engine is rear-mounted. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the 2008 Smart Fortwo, the smallest car marketed in the US market, earned the top overall rating of “Good” in both the front and side crash tests. The Fortwo received the “Good” score in 8 of 11 measured injury categories. Its seat/head restraints earned the second highest rating of “Acceptable” for protection against whiplash in rear impacts. The IIHS did an offset crash test with a Smart Fortwo and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which is 40% of one car’s driver’s side head on with 40% of another car’s driver’s side, and the Smart received a “Poor” rating due to the occupants heads slamming into the steering wheel. Also, there was too much intrusion into the footwell of the Smart Fortwo. Dummy movement was not well controlled. The Smart Fortwo circled 540 degrees and landed approximately 45 feet (14 m) away from the initial crash. NHTSA crash test results for the 2008 Smart Fortwo: Frontal Driver: Frontal Passenger: Side Driver: *The driver door unlatched and opened during the side impact crash which increases the likelihood of occupant ejection. Rollover: Euro NCAP crash results: Adult Occupant: Pedestrian: Hybrid At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, Smart launched the a “micro hybrid drive” version of the ForTwo, a mild hybrid. Smart claimed this provides a fuel efficiency improvement of eight percent from 50 miles per US gallon (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg-imp) to almost 55 miles per US gallon (4.3 L/100 km; 66 mpg-imp), while Carbon dioxide emissions drop from 112 to 103g/km. The mhd version of the fortwo is not currently available in the USA or Canada. Smart electric drive For more details on this topic, see Smart ED. An all-electric version of the fortwo, the “smart fortwo electric drive”, has been in development since 2006. Zytek developed the motor and produced the first-generation “smart EV” cars powered by sodium-nickel chloride batteries. Market trials began during 2007 in London. Externally it appears identical to the standard ‘Smart Fortwo coup’. At the London motorshow in July 2008, Smart representatives gave estimates of the Smart ED purchase price to be around 16,000 (20,000). It was also presented at the 2008 Paris Car Show. Production delivery was expected in 2010. It will feature 30 kW (40 hp) output, a top speed of 70 mph (110 km/h) and will be capable of 0-30 mph (48 km/h) in 6.5 seconds. The European fortwo ED can travel up to 72 miles (116 km) between charges. It typically takes around 8 hours for a full charge. In 2008 Tesla Motors signed an agreement to supply the first 1000 battery packs for these cars. In August 2009 Daimler announced production of second-generation vehicles using Tesla’s lithium-ion battery packs would begin in late 2009 for trials in Europe and the USA, with general availability in 2012. BRABUS It is a sport package that include a sport exhaust with dual center tips, sport suspension, 15- front and 17-inch rear wheels, power steering and all the BRABUS visual cues. The originally planned turbocharged engine was not included. It is available in cabriolet or coupe variations, the latter equipped with a glass panoramic roof, and a choice of two colors, metallic silver or deep black. The 2009 Smart Fortwo Brabus has Manufacturer’s Suggested retail price (MSRP) of $18,635USD for the coupe, and $21,635USD for cabriolet. The Canadian models cost $21,900 for coupe, and $24,900 for cabriolet. Canadian 10th anniversary edition smart Canada released ten 10th anniversary edition smart fortwo cars in February 2009. Each car started life as a Canadian BRABUS model before being converted into 10th anniversary editions by BRABUS in Germany. All of the cars are arctic grey metallic with chalet brown and alcantara leather interiors with black BRABUS Monoblock 7 wheels. Each car has a number plate on the dash to signify its production number out of ten. One was given away in the 10th anniversary contest and the remaining 9 cars were available for purchase via smart Canada’s buyers draw. smart Canada also produced 1:87 scale versions, of which 10,000 were made.

International markets Australia The Smart fortwo is available in Australia since 2003 in only the middle ‘Pulse’ range, and with the gasoline engine. As of April 16, 2007 the base price for the fortwo coup is AU$19,900, and for the fortwo cabriolet is $22,900. The Smart fortwo is sold through selected Mercedes-Benz dealers. Canada The Smart fortwo was introduced in Canada in 2004 and sold through Mercedes-Benz dealers. Only the turbo-diesel powerplant was offered for the coup and convertible models because of tough emission regulations for gasoline engines dictated by Transport Canada. Demand was initially heavy, with up to six-month waiting lists in major urban areas in the spring of 2005. The vehicle has proven especially popular for light errand running for small shops and businesses, with many carrying custom paint jobs or stick-on graphics boldly advertising the associated product or service. In 2008, Canada only received the gasoline model because the diesel version does not meet 2007 emission standards. The fortwo carries a 1.0-litre engine that delivers up to 70 horsepower (52 kW) and a re-engineered automated-manual 5-speed transmission with a slightly larger body. It is not yet decided if any other engines will be offered by smart Canada in the future such as the micro hybrid or a future diesel model. At this point the 2009 model of the smart will continue to have the 70 hp (52 kW) gasoline powered engine. Despite the changes, the fortwo still sells well in Canada, with some dealers saying they once again have waiting lists of people looking for the cars. China The Smart “vending machine” in Shenyang, China In April 2008, Smart first premiered in the China Auto Show 2008 in Beijing. On October 1, 2008, the Smart “vending machine” road show had the first stop in Shenyang (at Isetan), and also started the pre-order period. The cost for reserving a Smart was 388 RMB. The price range of smart fortwo in China is 158,000 to 206,000 RMB. Japan There is a Japan-only variant called the Smart K which is the only non-Japanese car that fulfills the regulations for Kei cars. United States Modified imports This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (February 2008) Smart Fortwo in the United States In early 2006, a specialty automotive import and engineering firm – G and K Auto conversions (GNKAuto.com) of Santa Ana California – after investing millions of dollars in testing and fees, received DOT, NHTSA, and EPA approval to sell a modified European specification Smart Fortwo in the US. The 23 modifications to the Smart Fortwo included DOT certified headlights, reinforced doors for additional side impact protection, an odometer that reads in miles rather than kilometers, and soft padding on the interior pillars and ceiling. Smart Fortwo dealers in the US were a mix of “green car” specialty companies (GreenCarCo.com), (EcoAutoInc.com) and exotic car dealers. Approximately 1,000 model year 2004, 2005, and 2006 Smart cars were imported without Smart’s or Mercedes Benz’s cooperation and converted by G&K. Made for US market On 26 June, 2002, Smart fortwo was exhibited at the new Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) affiliate P.S. 1 in Queens, New York for the first time. In September 2006, Daimler AG announced that Smart USA, a division of Penske Auto Group (at the time of the announcement it was United Auto Group, later changed to PAG, ) would be the official distributor for Smart in the United States and Puerto Rico. The redesigned smart fortwo (Model 451) has been available since January 2008 in the USA. Numerous changes were made from the previous model (450). Its Mercedes Benz power plant was replaced by a non-turbo Mitsubishi 3B21 engine and the overall dimensions of the car increased. The 2009 model year US version of the smart fortwo is available in 3 trims: Pure (base trim), Passion, and Passion cabriolet. Pure has an MSRP of US$11,990, Passion has an MSRP of $13,990, and the Passion Cabriolet has an MSRP $16,990. A reservation program was launched by Smart USA in March, 2007. This program allowed interested parties to place a $99 refundable deposit on the new fortwo in preparation for the product’s launch. Since the product’s launch, sales have surpassed production and the reservation program continues as a “wait list” program. The average wait used to be 12 to 18 months for delivery; although due to the economy, many buyers couldn’t purchase the vehicles when they were ready for delivery and many are available on dealer lots. The Smart Fortwo was rated as the most fuel efficient two-seater car in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2008 Fuel Economy Guide, with fuel efficiency ratings of 33 mpg-US (7.1 L/100 km; 40 mpg-imp) city and 41 mpg-US (5.7 L/100 km; 49 mpg-imp) highway. The 2008 Smart Fortwo coupe was given an EPA fuel efficiency rating of 36 mpg-US (6.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg-imp) combined. On May 14, 2008, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released crash test results for the fortwo. The IIHS gave the fortwo top ratings in protecting passengers in front and side crashes. However, the NHTSA cited a Safety Concern on their tests of a 2008 fortwo, stating “during the side impact test, the driver door unlatched and opened. A door opening during a side impact crash increases the likelihood of occupant ejection.” Chinese copy controversy Main article: Shuanghuan Noble In 2007, Chinese manufacturer Shijiazhuang Shuanghuan Automobile Co released the Shuanghuan Noble (also known as the Martin Motors Bubble), which is designed similarly to the Fortwo. This prompted Daimler AG to sue Shuanghuan for copyright infringement. The German manufacturer persuaded the Italian court to prohibit the Noble from being exhibited at the Bologna Motor Show, but importer Martin Motors violated that injunction and put the car on display. In May 2009, a Greek judge ruled against Daimler, allowing the Noble to be sold in Greece. The judge cited that “if a vehicle varies in its technical specification, then any external similarities are irrelevant.” This was in reference to the Noble being a front-engine, front-wheel-drive car while the ForTwo is rear-engined and rear-wheel-drive.
