About the Smart ForTwo Brabus
The third-generation Smart ForTwo Brabus (C453) represents the peak of the brand's collaboration with the Bottrop-based tuner for internal combustion city cars. Co-developed with Renault, this generation features a significantly wider track than its predecessor, improving stability without sacrificing its legendary 6.95-metre turning circle. The Brabus treatment boosts the 898cc engine to 109hp and adds a 'Race Start' function to the Twinamic dual-clutch gearbox. It is distinguished by its matte grey rear diffuser, twin chrome exhaust tips, and staggered Monoblock IX alloy wheels.
