Over two decades since it first entered the UK market with the revolutionary fortwo, smart is once again leading the way in the field of efficient, innovative mobility. The brand has long been at the forefront of electric vehicle development, launching its first EV test programme over 15 years ago, and becoming the first established automotive marque to complete the transition from internal combustion to fully electric power in 2019. With the #1, smart combines the expertise derived from its years at the vanguard of electrification with the premium design of Mercedes-Benz and the advanced engineering power of Geely’s BEV-dedicated SEA platform, to deliver next-generation mobility today. Michael Armitage was chosen by the Chancellor Rishi Sunak on advice provided by an independent panel with expertise in coin design and art, established to assess the artistic merits and ideas behind proposals put forward by selected candidates. During a Royal College of Art’s (RCA) reception on Tuesday evening (10 May), Rishi Sunak announced that Michael Armitage’s new design will celebrate the “culture, creativity, and heritage and history” of the UK in the 21st century. We are very proud of what we achieved with the smart #1,” said David Browne, CEO, smart UK. “From the exceptional standard specification of the entry level Pro+, which offers features usually associated with luxury cars, to the incredible performance of BRABUS, which leaves purpose-built sports cars trailing in its wake. We look forward to the media and public alike getting to experience the entire #1 line-up as we build toward our full market launch later this summer.”The academic programme for the Summer School is being organised by Dr Michael Collins, an associate professor of history at UCL’s London campus. There's a really good car lurking somewhere within the Smart #1, but the ride quality needs to be better and improvements to the infotainment would help, too. However, we can’t fault the range and charging capability, or the level of kit you get for the price. It’s a practical crossover that’s exactly the kind of car a young, urban brand such as Smart should be making. It just needs a little finessing. The new coin will be designed by Kenyan born British artist Michael Armitage, which will celebrate the culture, creativity, heritage and history of the UK in the 21st century. It will be minted at The Royal Mint early next year alongside a special collector's edition.
