About the Smart Forfour White Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Smart Forfour reproduces the 2006 hatchback in white, Smart's short-lived attempt to stretch its city car concept to four seats. Diecast construction and Kyosho's precision-oriented build suit this compact hatchback's tidy proportions.
The Forfour was Smart's odd sibling, four seats grafted onto a brand built entirely around the two-seat ForTwo.
Precision Diecast for a Compact Subject
Kyosho's reputation leans toward precision-focused diecast, and that fits the Forfour well since the car's appeal is proportion and detail rather than raw drama. The white finish shows evenly across the hatchback's short overhangs and upright glasshouse, and opening features reveal a cabin scaled correctly for four seats rather than the ForTwo's two, a distinction worth getting right on a subject this specific. Panel gaps sit tight for the segment, and wheel and mirror detailing carry more precision than a typical mass-market compact-car diecast, consistent with Kyosho's general approach to smaller, less flamboyant subjects.
Smart's Brief Four-Seat Experiment
Smart built the Forfour by adapting a shared platform developed with Mitsubishi, stretching the brand's city car formula into genuine four-seat, four-door practicality for the first time. It never matched the ForTwo's identity or sales, and the model was discontinued after a short run, which makes an accurate diecast of it a minor rarity on today's shelves rather than a common find. Displayed next to a ForTwo, this Forfour tells the fuller story of Smart's early attempt to grow beyond its signature two-seat format, one that didn't stick but is worth remembering.
