Really. The title holds no typos. smart is up to its old tricks again, redefining and even reinventing what small cars can be.
The smart for-us is the latest in a long line of funky concepts that includes the crosstown, the crossblade and the ForSpeed.
What makes the for-us unique is it rear cargo area capable of accepting two smart ebikes. The rear bed's tailboard opens up to allow easy access to the cargo floor. What's more, the for-us is capable of recharging the ebikes. The for-us will do so as itself is motivated by a 55 kW magneto-electric motor.
The for-us is wider and longer the production fortwo and retains the roomy-for-two cabin. It could prove to be the most versatile go-anywhere vehicle; when the roads runs out, you can pull out the bikes!
The smart for-us concept will be unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January.
