The Fascinating History of Smart

The Smart adventure began in the 1990s with a bold vision: to create the perfect urban car. Born from a collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and watch manufacturer Swatch, this brand embodies innovation and creativity. Nicolas Hayek, founder of Swatch, dreamed of applying the principles of Swiss watchmaking to the automobile: precision, compactness, and style .

The first model, the Smart City Coupé, revolutionized the concept of urban mobility at just 2.5 meters long. This technical feat enabled perpendicular parking, literally transforming the urban driving experience. The Hambach plant in Moselle became the symbol of this innovative production with its revolutionary assembly line.

Over the years, Smart has evolved and adapted to new environmental challenges. The brand pioneered electric vehicles with its recent models, anticipating the changes in modern automobiles. This constant evolution makes each Smart Model car a privileged witness to this exceptional technological adventure.

A striking anecdote

One of the most interesting anecdotes in Smart's history concerns its creator Nicolas Hayek. During the development of the project, he wanted his car to be customizable like a Swatch watch . This vision gave rise to the famous interchangeable body panels, allowing each owner to modify the appearance of their Smart according to their desires.

This philosophy of customization has influenced a whole generation of urban motorists. In major European capitals, it was not uncommon to see Smart cars in the most extravagant colors, transforming the streets into veritable automotive fashion shows. This creative freedom is reflected today in Model advertising vehicles that reproduce these colorful variations.
