To celebrate the tenth anniversary of cooperation between SMART and Brabus, the carmaker made a unique version for the ForTwo range in 2012.
After more than 50,000 ForTwo sold with the Brabus badge on it, it was the most successful product from the Bottrop tuning company laboratories. The tuner used the facelifted version of the ForTwo for the anniversary model, enhanced it accordingly, and built it in a limited 100 units.
At the front, the smoked boomerang-style headlights showed a meaner look. A pair of DRLs accompanied them in the front bumper's apron. A mesh-grille adorned the front fascia and resembled some other Brabus performance products. Yet, it wasn't a car built for high speeds. It was more of a fashion item. On the sides, the light-alloy wheels sported a six double-spoke design with three lug-nuts unique for the Brabus version.
Inside, the carmaker added more exclusive items such as Brabus-embroidered headrests for the sport bucket seats. Its dashboard featured a contrasting red line around the instrument panel and in front of the passenger. The door cards received the same red-line treatment completing the image of an exclusive vehicle.
But Brabus worked on the engine as well and added a few ponies. The one-liter, inline-three turbocharged powerplant provided 102 hp, enough to propel the telephone-booth sized vehicle to 100 kph (62 mph) from standing still in less than nine seconds.
