The car was shown as a concept at the Geneva show last year.
A maximum of 2,000 crossblades will be produced in the next few years and they will be numbered consecutively in order to emphasise their exclusiveness.
The unconventional design has no roof, doors, or a conventional windscreen. Crossblade drivers sit under the open sky, and a narrow, transparent wind deflector is all that stands in front of the cockpit area.
According to Philipp Schiemer, Marketing & Sales director at MCC smart: “The smart crossblade targets an exclusive clientele who attach great importance to personal freedom and independence. The open two-seater gives these customers a vehicle which expresses this outlook on life like no other product. No other manufacturer of production cars has a comparable competitor to the smart crossblade, which has the features of a buggy of bygone days, in their portfolio, making it unique.”
