Home Smart The strongest ever made – the new smart Brabus

Never before has a smart been so strong. With 80kW/109 HP, the brand-new smart Brabus claims its position as one of the sportiest cars in its segment. Brabus worked on its engine, suspension, steering and transmission to make the tiniest car in the Mercedes-Benz range good for a racing sensation.

The power of the tiny Benz went up by 5 kW and 23 Nm, respectively, reaching 80 kW/109 HP at 5750 rmp and 170 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. These are the figures making the smart run the 0 – 100 km/h distance in 9.5 seconds, with the Brabus-made forfour version hitting a top speed of 180 km/h. So what did the German tuner do to give the itsy-bitsy vehicles the power of a hot hatch?

  • the fuel pressure is now up by 2 bar
  • the springing/damping of the Brabus performance sport suspension are 20% firmer, while the ESP has been specially adapted.
  • the sports-tune Direct Steer system features an increased return torque, giving a more precise feedback, taking the communication between the driver and the vehicle to a whole new level and giving a better control.
  • the twinamic 6-speed dual-clutch transmission now comes with a 40% faster response time and shorter-legged ratio and it boasts a Race function, that the driver activates by simply releasing the brake pedal after previously depressing it and flooring the throttle pedal.
  • optimised Brabus sport exhaust system.

And it’s not just the electrical and mechanical twist that makes the sporty smarts stand out. The latest generation comes with matt grey rear diffuser insert with chrome-look tailpipe trims and high-sheen and matt painted Brabus Monoblock IX light-alloy wheels.
