BatSmart that made its world premiere at SEMA Show in Las Vegas

Forget about the Batmobile "Tumbler" depicted in Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Night" films; if the caped crusader were to be Cartman - The Coon politically correct in these eco-conscious times we live in, this should have been his choice of wheels: a crime fighting, blacked-out and bat-winged Smart Fortwo. Okay but seriously now, this Smart Fortwo mini-Batmobile that was built by Harley Motorsports with a little help from the creator of the 1966 Batmobile, George Barris, is up for grabs on eBay.

The one-off BatSmart that made its world premiere at last year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, is clearly inspired by the '66 Batmobile. Visual treats include the roof-mounted bat-wings, red-pin stripping and even a faux turbine and a parachute - just in case you overdo it and go over 60mph and want to come to a complete halt...

As we speak, the highest bid for the Bat Smart on eBay is US$16,100, however, that is below the seller's reserve price, so unless Harley Motorsports decides otherwise, it will sell for more. And no, as much as we would have liked, the Catwoman depicted in these photos is not included in the sale.

Smart Fortwo Edition Limited Three at Geneva

It's special edition time for Merc's Smart brand which has announced the release of the Fortwo "edition limited three". As is the case with most special series models, there's really nothing actually noteworthy about this Fortwo other than it comes with a melon green metallic paintwork with matching interior trim, a unique fabric design for the seats with shades of brown and upgraded standard equipment.

The new edition, which is available as a coupe and a cabriolet, is based on the "passion" equipment variant of the Fortwo. . Among other features it comes with 15-inch alloy wheels, softouch automatic gear programme, electric windows, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, and for the coupe a panoramic roof with sunblind.

The standard equipment of the "edition limited three" also includes dashboard instruments and the radio 9. However, power steering and a lockable glove compartment still remain optional.

The Fortwo "edition limited three" is powered by a 71HP engine and it features Smart's so-called micro hybrid drive (mhd) technology which is nothing more than a start-stop system.

In Germany, the Fortwo "edition limited three" costs €15,470 as a coupé and €18,510 as a cabrio (prices incl. VAT).
