Compared to the ForTwo, the concept has a 23.7-inch longer wheelbase at 97.2-inch and a 33.7-inch longer overall length at 139.8-inch. On the other hand, it's slightly lower in height (-1.4-inch) and wider in width (+5.9-inch).

Details are limited, but the car will come with an electrically operated tailgate, a convex glass roof, 21-inch wheels wrapped in 245/35 Michelin tires. In addition, it is also fitted with a video projector, Bluetooth, iPhone connectivity and hammock-style seats. 

Under the hood, the sports coupe is powered by a new electric motor from Mercedes-tuner Brabus paired with a 17.5kW/h battery, producing 80 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque. It allows the car to hit a top speed of 81 mph.
