Brabus just announced the release of the new smart #1 Brabus.
The new collaboration between Mercedes-Benz’s smart car division and the popular German tuner offers customers an exciting new option featuring a unique blend of style, performance, and innovation.

Exterior Styling

One of the standout features of the smart #1 Brabus is its sporty and distinctive appeal, thanks to its “Black and Bold” theme. The car undoubtedly possesses an unmistakable presence on the road with its sleek lines, bold accents, and Brabus’ signature 1-Second-Wow effects.

The exterior boasts striking details that set it apart from the standard smart car models, providing it with a head-turning appearance that is sure to entice automotive enthusiasts. New styling elements, including a front spoiler, winglets, fascia inserts, and a rear spoiler, give its styling a major boost.

The auto’s aesthetics are complemented by 19-inch or 21-inch wheels with an optional Monoblock Z or “Platinum Edition” design. The 8.5Jx21 wheels are wrapped in Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 high-performance 255/30 R 21 tires.

Interior Design

In its standard guise, the smart #1 is equipped with a range of advanced technologies and features tailored to enhance convenience, comfort, and safety. With Brabus’ touch, its interior design is amplified by the tuner’s scuff plates and aluminum pedals.

It is further enhanced with high-grade velour floor mats, trunk liner, piping, and decorative stitches. All these are embedded with the tuning specialist’s recognizable but exclusive “B” logo.

Engine and Performance

Under the hood, the smart #1 Brabus delivers an exhilarating driving experience despite lacking any upgrades in its electric motor. However, the German tuner’s sports springs lower the car’s ride height by 35 millimeters (1.4 inches) for better driving dynamics.

The stock power unit of the electric car delivers up to 315 kW (428 hp) with a max speed of 180 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 3.9 seconds. Meanwhile, its 66 kWh lithium-ion battery is capable of covering a range of up to 325 km (202 miles) at full charge.
