Lets face it, one of the most fun to drive models in Smart->ke83's line-up was the Roadster. It was a fun-looking, two-seats sport car that was suitable for a crowded city. And now the model is preparing for a comeback.

According to Autocar, this is just one of the models "being discussed, as Mercedes->ke187 plans to expand its city car brand by offering more models and greater economies of scale after gaining access to Renault’s small car platforms."

"A new Roadster is one being discussed. The Renault->ke72 merger could lead to several Smart spin-offs; Renault has small car expertise that we can benefit from."

The Smart Roadster was offered in two versions, roadster and coupe, with the coupe version getting the most powerful engine: an 81 HP 3-cylinder.

However, before we see the new Roadster on the streets, Smart will bring forth the new generation Fortwo->ke1744 and then a new Forfour->ke1354 in 2014. Smart will also be unveiling a new electric scooter concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
