Smart’s concept cars released in recent years have all influenced the design of the upcoming ForTwo and ForFour city cars, as the following official video explains.

Beginning with the 2011 Smart Forvision, which previews the next-generation ForTwo, and ending with last year’s Smart Fourjoy, which shows the way for the next-generation ForFour, all recent studies have put their mark on the design of the all-new production cars.

From the evolution of the tridion cell to the “front smile” and overall shape of the car, the two upcoming models appear to owe a lot to the concept cars.

Scroll down to watch how design elements from Smart’s studies will make their way on the ForTwo and ForFour, which are expected to debut on July 16, according to German media, and go on sale in September in Europe.
