Konigseder smart 451 ForTwo addresses itself to customers that live in warmer areas. Based on the cabriolet version of the mini, the Konigseder smart 451 ForTwo is not focused on power upgrades, but all the attention has been given to the design from the Austrian tuner.
Konigseder smart 451 ForTwo body has been styled to look more aggressive with 3 cm wider than the standard version and also equipped with larger wheel arches and new front and rear spoilers.
Konigseder smart 451 ForTwo comes with floral shaped stickers over a white paint finish, and it sits on 7,5 and 9,5×17 wheels and Eibach sport springs.
The Konigseder smart 451 ForTwo interior features king carpets made out of renewable raw material.
“We shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” says Charlie Territo from theAlliance of Automobile Manufacturers, as we weave our way through the latest and greatest green technologies at this year’s New York International Auto Show. The expo, which had only two hybrid vehicles eight years ago, now boasts 24—not to mention close to 40 flex-fuel models, as well as more than 10 diesel, one hydrogen, and several concept vehicles.
But instead of reflecting on the show’s positive green growth, I find myself scrutinizing both the fallibilities of each fuel technology and the fact that there’s still an overwhelming majority of eco-dubious cars touting mega-horsepower and bling. Think Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Jags. I repeat Territo’s comment like mantra as I navigate through a sea of hopeful, green alternatives: We shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Sure, every model has its problems, and not every consumer is considering fuel economy when purchasing a car, but with the variety of well-designed, fuel-efficient options on display, it’s difficult to imagine things aren’t getting good. Until we reach perfection, here’s the shortlist of some of the New York International Auto Show’s good and green wheels.
