Smart has all but revealed the #2, the electric successor to the famed Fortwo, with a series of murals dotted around the globe.
Although it will be revealed in full at the Paris motor show, the new art pieces give a clear indication of the finished car's design.
It bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor, retaining its stubby proportions, although key changes include scowling headlights and rounded units at the rear.
The #2 marks the Smart brand's return to its roots after launching a range of electric crossovers including the #5, its largest model yet.
Due in UK dealerships next year, it has been designed to offer what Smart calls "uncompromised urban capability".
The two-seater is based on a bespoke Electric Compact Arcitechture developed by Geely.
The Chinese company co-owns Smart with its original founder Mercedes-Benz, which took the lead on the #2's design.
Full details remain under wraps until the Paris motor show in October, but Smart has confirmed the #2 will offer a range of 186 miles and be capable of charging its battery from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes.
It will also have vehicle-to-load capability, meaning its battery can be used to power external devices.
At just 2792mm long, the concept was only around 100mm longer than the old Fortwo, so it will reclaim its position as the shortest electric car on sale, undercutting the Fiat 500e by almost a metre. Anything smaller, like the Citroën Ami or Micro Microlino, officially fits into the quadricycle category.
That will also enable a turning circle of just 6.95m.
