About the Smart Fortwo Crossblade Cabriolet Silver Black Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Smart Fortwo Crossblade in silver and black recreates the 2007 doorless factory special convertible. Zinc alloy gives real weight, with opening features revealing the minimalist cabin. A genuinely unusual piece for a factory special or microcar collection.
The Crossblade stripped the already-minimal Smart Fortwo down even further, removing doors and a proper windshield entirely, and Kyosho's diecast replica finds real charm in reproducing that stripped-down factory oddity accurately.
Diecast Detail on a Doorless Factory Special
Zinc alloy construction gives this compact model real heft despite its small footprint, a density that signals genuine metal build quality rather than a lightweight toy. This model has genuine opening features, and given the Crossblade's already-open cabin design, those opening elements let a collector examine cabin details that a sealed body would normally hide, though here the car's own minimalist design already exposes much of what makes it distinctive. The Tridion safety cell's contrasting color treatment is cast and painted with clean separation between the silver body and black structural elements, and the fabric-look convertible top, where fitted, is reproduced with enough texture to read convincingly at this scale.
A Factory Special Built to Shock
Mercedes-Benz and Smart built the Crossblade as a genuinely limited factory special, stripping away doors, a full windshield, and a conventional roof to create what was essentially a street-legal beach buggy version of the ForTwo, a bold statement piece rather than a volume seller. That willingness to build something so deliberately impractical, straight from the factory rather than an aftermarket tuner, gives the Crossblade a specific cult status among Smart enthusiasts.
An Unusual Piece for a Microcar Shelf
At 1:18, the Crossblade's tiny footprint and open-top design make it a genuine conversation piece next to more conventional city cars, and it works particularly well displayed alongside a standard ForTwo to show just how far Smart pushed the factory special concept. Handle the opening features gently, and dust the exposed cabin area regularly, since an open-top design collects dust more readily than a sealed body.
