With the impending start of sales for the second generation Smart ForTwo in Europe, the company has released the final vehicle certification results. Smart had been targeting CO2 emissions of 90 g/km for the CDi version, but the official testing came in at only 88 g/km making it the cleanest of any car on the market. The fuel consumption target was 3.4L/100km (69.2mpg) but the official result was 3.3L/100km (71.3mpg). Unfortunately, the diesel won't be included in the initial lineup when the ForTwo launches in the US market a year from now. The Smart press release is after the jump.
