BRABUS fortwo: It takes only two to tango
Lovebirds will soon be taking the road alone by themselves – with style and compactness.
The BRABUS models of the new smart fortwo will is set to be unleashed on the road. With a redesigned 72 kW/98 bhp three-cylinder turbo engine, the smart fortwo BRABUS and the smart fortwo BRABUS Xclusive have 30 percent more power than before and would still boast low fuel consumption. The sporty two-seater accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 155 km/h.
Despite its compact ‘compactness,’ the new smart fortwo tweaked by BRABUS still exudes with sleekness of a true sports compact. For instance, it features “Monoblock VI” alloy wheels with wide tires measuring 175/50 R 16 at the front and 225/35 R 17 at the rear, wider rear wheel arches, a sports exhaust system with centrally positioned stainless steel tailpipes and a body that has reduced ground clearance by ten millimeters. In the interior cockpit instruments with specially designed dials, BRABUS sports pedals and a three-spoke leather steering wheel with shift paddles underline the model’s exclusivity. The transmission and suspension also have a sporty setup.
The smart fortwo BRABUS Xclusive lives up to its name with additional equipment details such as H7 projection headlamps with titanium surrounds, a front spoiler with enlarged air inlets, striking side skirts and a rear apron painted with the body’s color. The seats are covered with fine leather and are heated. The leather-effect instrument panel features aluminum-look trim components.
Indeed, BRABUS has taken precise steps to make the smart fortwo a virtual mini roadster.
