The spring of 2012 saw the smart fortwo making its mark in a striking new look, featuring an upgraded exterior and a fresh leather/fabric mix in the interior.
The substantially revamped smart fortwo sports a markedly more dynamic appearance, featuring a larger radiator grille with integrated logo, striking front aprons in a new design, horizontally arranged LED daytime driving lights, muscular side skirts and modified rear aprons. The Brabus version presented here is offered with unique color combinations, sport bumpers, central exhaust, a sportier interior, larger multispoke rims and, of course, a more powerful engine.

In its quest to stop bleeding money with the small brand, Mercedes-Benz produced a particular version of the ForTwo Cabrio with the well-known tuner company Brabus.
Smart introduced the second generation of the ForTwo in two body shapes: coupe and cabriolet. This time, the carmaker decided to make the car roomier and provide a higher protection level and richer onboard features. All those worked well, but strangely, the customers started to ask for more power from the phone-booth-sized car. Brabus was an expert in that area, so Mercedes-Benz gave it the green light to develop a particular version for the 2007 lineup.

At the front, the 2007 model featured boomerang-shaped headlights above the smiling grille. There was no way how to tell where the bumper was ending, and the rest of the plastic body panels continued. The rag-top was power-operated and retractable behind the seats, while the upper side pillars were removable. Thus, the Smart Cabrio was more of a targa but with a completely open area between the windshield and the B-pillar. Brabus added a touch of its tuner expertise and installed a new set of light-alloy wheels with a six double-spoke design. In the back, it installed a twin exhaust in the middle.

Inside, the Smart Brabus Cabrio received a unique, two-tone interior. The leather-clad bucket seats sported the Brabus logo embroidered into the headrests. On the dashboard, the tuner added aluminum trims, inducing a “racy” experience.

Under the hood, the carmaker installed the same one-liter turbocharged gasoline unit. Brabus took that inline-three Mitsubishi-sourced engine and tuned it to produce 98 hp.

Presented to the general public in 2003, smart fortwo cabrio Brabus is an exclusivist car model customized by the German tuner which is able to provide advanced performance, improved agility and enhanced comfort.
The new smart comes with a turbocharged engine releasing 75 horsepower, helping it accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds. If the smart stability was already assured by ESP, Brabus improved this aspect by installing wider wheels. Obviously, this also improved the speed of the car which is said to be 10 mph higher than on the standard model. However, the top speed of smart fortwo cabrio Brabus is limited to 150 km/h.
