The car comes with it; black is standard; it's the 'safety cell' that protects you.

The Tridon Safety Cell is basicly the frame of the car... So yes, you need one to hold the engine wheels and seats together... easier to drive that way.

The Black/Silver option is the paint color for the cell... the black or silver stripe you see on the photos of the smarts is the bit of the frame that is exposed, so you see the paint color.

It's basically the option to paint that part of the car Silver that's all. If you like black then all the better. As KWScott said, the frame (tridion safety cell) is always there, that is literally your car. Your not buying an upgraded frame or anything, it's just saying that you can pay them extra to paint it silver.. maybe they assume silver is a hotter choice so they charge for it. Well for me it's a marketing thing since they still have to paint the frame either way.. painting it black or silver doesn't make much of a difference but yea.. Just to clear it up for people who were confused

exoskeleton

tridion has been called «exoskeleton» by some. In earlier days in Europe, the basic pure was always and only black (ŕ la Ford T), whereas the pulse would have a choice and the passion would always be silver. Sort of a model identifier.
