Whenever Brabus gets involved, expect fun to follow, and the Smart ForTwo is no exception, even as an electric car. Behind the wheel, the Brabus 92R is a bit of a surprise, and its superior variant, the Ultimate E, is something else. But it isn't that different as it still has 92 horses, like the 92R from the Brabus tuned electric motor. By now, you're probably wondering how Brabus tuned the electric motor. They only tweaked the torque control system and optimized the modules for the driving dynamics and accelerator pedal. Sure, this doesn't make the car any faster, but we'll take being faster than stock. Brabus's touches also extend to the styling, both inside and out. But before we get there, how fast is the Brabus Ultimate E smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio?
92 horsepower in a car, especially a Brabus, doesn't seem like much, but it's enough to make running errands exciting, especially when complemented by 133 lb.ft. That's 12 horsepower and 15 lb.ft, more than the standard Smart EQ Fortwo. Back to our earlier question: how fast is the Brabus Ultimate E smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio? 0-60 takes roughly 11 seconds, and the top speed maxes out at 81 mph, which is quite exciting for a car its size. Brabus claims a range of 78 miles, similar to the standard Smart Fortwo, but that depends on driving style, weather, and route conditions. But we highly doubt it can go below 70 miles even when the car is driven aggressively.
Brabus spared no detail in crafting the Ultimate E's interior, starting with illuminated door sills proudly bearing the Brabus logo and custom floor mats. Inside, you'll find bespoke Brabus leather seats that seamlessly match the car's overall aesthetic, with leather extending to nearly every surface. Carbon fiber accents are prominent throughout, paired with soft-touch plastics and bright aluminum finishes for a premium feel. Black dominates the cabin's palette, highlighted by striking red stitching, though some examples have a bright full-red leather interior with minimal black accents, an unmistakable Brabus design language. Seating space is adequate for two, offering just enough room for a city car of its size. While the trunk's practicality isn't remarkable, it's sufficient for urban driving.
Like the interior, the Brabus Ultimate E's exterior is a major departure from the standard Smart EQ Fortwo with a host of Brabus tweaks that give it a more aggressive and appealing look. The front fascia has been completely redesigned with wider vents and a larger grille, all with honeycomb meshes and a more pronounced splitter. A similar aesthetic continues to the side and rear, with an aggressive exposed carbon fiber front splitter and custom Brabus taillight to complement the refreshed headlights. Going back to the side profile, you'll notice that the car sits lower and has larger wheels (18.0 inches) wrapped with ultra-low profile tires that are perfect for city driving, provided you don't aggressively drive over bumps and potholes.
The Brabus Ultimate E retains the Smart Fortwo's tech like the 92R. Need a quick charge? A 22kWh charger will have the 17kWh battery pack juiced up in about an hour. At home, a 7kWh outlet will take a leisurely three hours. Inside, you'll find a 12V power adapter, USB ports, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While it's got some cool tech, don't expect a whole lot of fancy driver assistance features. It's more about the pure electric driving experience.
New, a Brabus Ultimate E Smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio would have set you back $53,000, a huge jump compared to the standard Smart Fortwo's MSRP. Still its exclusivity and uniqueness are reasons enough to buy one. Already convinced? Check out our Mercedes-Benz listings, which might have one for sale.
The Brabus Ultimate E Smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio is a quirky, fun, and surprisingly quick electric city car.
