The Brabus model had different rims, larger in the rear, and a bunch of Brabus cosmetic items, stitched emblem on the seats, brake and gear lever, and the suspension is lowered a bit, but no mechanical mods as far as I know. It "looks" sporty. If you want sporty, you probably keep walking past the Smart showroom. lol. I have been YouTubing the car a bit, and seems in Europe, there are some engine mods and chips available. Not sure if they're in house, or aftermarket.
The limited Brabus I mentioned, is shipped to Brabus where they do the interior. My understanding is, the regular Brabus models from the dealer just have the Brabus bits bolted on while doing down the Smart line, but not 100%. For a city car, they seem ok, but I'm still not sure how they managed to get those doors past the side impact requirements. Look mighty thin to me, and I'm not really keen on the idea of my hips and shoulder being part of the crumble zone in the event of a side hit. Yikes!! Ed 300E, which got a hand wash today as it's so mild here. :-) 2010/1/18 Alex Chamberlain <apchamberl...@gmail.com> > On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 9:41 PM, E M <pokieba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I stopped in at the dealer the other day to pick up some brochures for a > > friend on a Smart car, as they also have a dedicated Smart Car showroom. > > The had several on the floor, including 2 Brabus models, and a special > > limited addition model 10 of 10. > > So what did the Brabus version have that the regular one didn't? > Engine and suspension mods?
