  "account": "Smart is reintroducing its iconic city car at the Paris Auto Show, scheduled from October 12th to 18th. The new two-seater, known as #2, pays homage to the original Smart from the 1990s in terms of design, ranging from the gull-wing doors to the dual-tone black finish and the suggested safety cell. The vehicle is compact, measuring just 2.75 meters in length, allowing it to be parked diagonally in narrow gaps between parking spots. Its tight turning radius of less than seven meters makes it one of the most agile city cars available. The starting price for the #2 is approximately 20,000 euros, with early buyers able to order the vehicle for 19,990 euros immediately, despite its anticipated release in Europe next spring. The electric motor powering the #2 generates 60 kW/82 PS and 130 Nm of torque, propelling the car's wheels at the rear. Its battery, rated at 35.8 kWh, is expected to provide a standard range of 290 kilometers. Although the maximum charging power is only 65 kW, early users can still charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes, thanks to the battery's modest capacity.",
