The world’s largest gathering of smart fans will once again congregate at the old airfield in Zell am Kaprun, Austria from August 20-22, 2010 for “smart times”. This will be the 10th time the congregation of the smart community will take place. In addition to numerous programme highlights visitors will also be able to test drive the smart fortwo electric drive.
In the anniversary year, several thousand smart fans from all over Europe – some of whom have customised their vehicles in creative and often unusual ways – will once again gather in Zell am See/Kaprun to celebrate their passion for smart cars together. Special highlights of the event include the smart convoy, the smart times contest, the party and of course technical discussions with designers, tuners and industry experts.
Marc Langenbrinck, Managing Director smart brand and Head of Sales & Marketing at smart says “smart times is pure joie de vivre and it shows the enthusiasm that the smart brand generates like barely any other event. We look forward to thousands of smart fans and a varied programme with a very special highlight: an opportunity to test drive the smart fortwo electric drive.”
