In the latest Pink Panther sequel, Steve Martin again perfectly plays bumbling Inspector Clouseau, and his co-star is none other than a red smart fortwo coupé.

In an exciting sequence of the first film, Clouseau steers his smart fortwo coupé in a wild dash across Paris.

When legendary treasures from around the world are stolen, including the priceless Pink Panther Diamond, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (John Cleese) is forced to assign Clouseau to a team of international detectives and experts charged with catching the thief and retrieving the stolen artifacts.

The story is set in Paris and Rome and Martin is joined by his co-stars Jean Reno (as Ponton, his partner) and Emily Mortimer (as Nicole, the object of his awkward affections). The investigative dream team is played by Andy Garcia, Alfred Molina, Yuki Matsuzaki (Letters from Iwo Jima) and Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Lily Tomlin also stars.

So why cast smart?

Not finding a parking space at the chronically busy Paris Airport poses a problem - but the compact smart fortwo simply parks perpendicular to the flow of traffic."smart is the optimal company car in the movie", says Vice President of Brand Communications Mercedes-Benz Cars Anders Sundt Jensen.

"smart and the main character stand for unusual ways of thinking, irresistible charm and cleverness - and therefore have extraordinary success."

And for all you amateur detectives out there, you can pick up the trail of the pink diamond on the internet. Under the motto "Stay on the trail", anyone can enter the film world of Inspector Clouseau at www.smart.com/pinkpanther and follow the precious gem across Paris.

If you can track down the diamond in this exciting internet game, you have a chance of winning a smart fortwo too, I mean also. Good luck!
