Smart is gearing up for a party. The firm celebrates 10 years and over 75,000 UK sales this October, and has released details of a special model to commemorate the occasion.

Called the gb-10, just 100 models will be built, and each will feature a striking silver metallic paint, with a contrasting red design feature on the trademark tridion safety cell.

All cars get BRABUS 15-inch alloys and daytime LED running lights, while the interior features Rosso red, heated leather seats and contrasting black alcantara on the dash top.

Standard equipment includes the Pioneer AVIC-F910BT audio and navigation system, air conditioning, electric windows and panoramic roof.

The Smart gb-10 will go on display at this year’s smart festival on Saturday 4th September before going on sale. The special models will be split between 50 mhd coupé, 10 mhd cabrio, 30 cdi coupé and 10 cdi cabrio and cost from £10,695 on-the-road.
