It’s plain and simply stated in black and white when it comes to the latest special editions of the smart fortwo and forfour models. For the latest cars are available in those two simple yet elegant shades.

The models are based on the generously-equipped prime trim grade (which includes features such as heated leather seats), but the special-edition models also add the Urban Style and the Premium packages as standard. These include three-spoke sports steering wheel with perforated leather, brushed stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs, 16-inch alloy wheels in black, exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe, wheel-arch extensions with smart lettering, comfort package (consisting of height adjustable steering wheel, height adjustable driver’s seat, heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors), rear parking assistance and smart media system including European satellite navigation. Forfour models also come with privacy glass in the rear

The company’s ‘edition white’ and ‘edition black’ models have been made available to order ahead of first deliveries towards the end of next month with the fortwo models priced at £12,360 and rising to £12,855 for the smart forfour.

The edition white models feature white tridion cells, combined with white body panels and a white grille, making them stand out as special edition smarts.

And not surprisingly the edition black models come with black bodywork, black tridion cells and a black grille – although customers can pay £100 for a white tridion cell.

As with the rest of the smart range, the edition white and edition black models can be ordered with either a 71bhp naturally-aspirated or 90bhp turbo three-cylinder petrol engine, and with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
