There was a lot of information about upcoming products at the annual Daimler AG press conference that took place yesterday, with the first official photo of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe (C217) being the cherry on the cake.
The large coupe wasn't the only topic of discussion though, with Dieter Zetsche also letting slip a bit of information about the upcoming smart model lineup.
The smart forfour, for example, will apparently be just 3.50 meters (138 inches) long, which will make it at least 25 centimeters (10 inches) shorter than the first generation of the model, which was phased out from production back in 2006.
Built on the elongated platform from the not-yet-released 2015 smart fortwo, the new forfour will also share most of its body parts with the next generation of the Renault Twingo.
Even though it will be much shorter, interior volume should be larger thanks to its engines being positioned at the rear, underneath the luggage compartment, while the wheelbase will be longer. Both the smart fortwo and the forfour should be unveiled either during the summer or at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October.
