Smart’s sleek #6 flagship will be unveiled later this year as the brand’s quickest and most advanced model to date, packing reserves of more than 630bhp in its most potent form.

Autocar has been told this will allow it to offer “well over 800km” (497 miles) of range in its most efficient form, although that figure is based on the generous Chinese CLTC test cycle.
