Smart ForTwo Brabus

[homeforsummer]

Am I the only one who loves the new Smart look? Never liked their styling before but this one, yummy (and cute too).

It's growing on me. I quite like the existing one - it could realistically have been launched yesterday, as it really hasn't aged - but I'm glad they've shaken things up a bit. It seems to work best in some of the more unconventional colour schemes (the red/silver above doesn't really suit it).

I prefer this combo and love the interior design as well.

(Oh, and it ain't me in that picture )

Great taste.

The interior is definitely nice, though I do think it's a bit of a shame it's gone a bit more "conventional". I suppose partly it's been necessitated by the new manual gearbox, but I always liked the lack of centre console in previous Smarts, and having the key down between the seats Saab-style.

Didn't the previous model have 3-lug wheels?

Yep. I suspect the collaboration with Renault is behind the move to 4-lugs.

Brabus Fortwo Sunseeker special edition revealed. As you probably figured, it's inspired by a yacht. It makes 123 horsepower, and can do 0-60 in 9.2 seconds. Bits of carbon fiber were used on the dashboard.
