The German tuner calls it “the ultimate city sports car”. Based on the Smart Fortwo, the city sports car will be built in a limited production run of just 125 units, and will premiere at the Geneva Auto Show 2017.
This particular example features Blu Glauco paint finish – a bright turquoise, which is enhanced by Brabus Widestar bodywork. The bodywork with flared fenders at the front and rear axle creates space for 18-inch wheels at all four corners, largest for this category. The 18-inch nine spoke Brabus Monoblock Y wheels feature gloss black finish on one side and a black paint with pin striping in Blu Glauco vehicle color on the other side. The front and rear wheels are shod with 205/35 and 235/30 high-performance tires, respectively. The Brabus designers round off the sporty appearance with a front spoiler, rocker panels and rear diffuser, all manufactured from PUR (Polyurethane).
The interiors feature Brabus Mastik leather, which is color-coordinated with the vehicle paintwork. This includes the seats and the center sections of the door panels. For contrast, parts of the interior such as the top of the dashboard were covered with black leather. Details such as the instrument for rev counter and clock mounted on top of the dashboard, the vent surrounds, the instrument cluster surround, the turn signal and windscreen wiper stalks and the door handle recesses are also all painted in vehicle color. The Brabus stainless pedals plus the aluminum shift knob and emergency brake lever add a touch of racing looks to the cockpit. Other exclusive features include scuff plates with Brabus Ultimate 125 logo, illuminated in red or white like the stainless footrest in the driver footwell. Velour floor mats with Brabus logo round off the exquisite ambience.
Climate control system, radio and navigation system are a part of the standard equipment. The choice of colors for the bodywork, interiors, and the soft top color can be customized to the customer’s preference.
The Brabus Ultimate 125 is powered by an 898 cc three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, with an output of 123 bhp @ 5,550 rpm and 200 Nm of torque on tap at a low 2,000 rpm, paired to an automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Brabus claims a sprint time from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) of just 9.2 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 175 km/h (109 mph), setting the benchmark in this category. The driving experience is accompanied by the Brabus sport exhaust system.
Retail prices are €49,980 for the Coupe and at €52,800 for the Cabriolet.
