"More than 75,000 smarts have been sold in the UK and the gb-10 edition is a clear indication of how the brand has evolved and continues to do so."

"Its luxurious specification will attract an even greater variety of customers and once again highlights the car’s reputation for trendsetting, forward-thinking style."

Prices for the SmartForTwo GB10, which is exempt from road tax, will start from £10,695.

The car will be on display at this year's Smart festival on September 4, which is being held at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands in Surrey.
