r000 Since the 19XX launch of Make the Smart Model in october 1998, the car has been available
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
in three standard levels of trim, each with names sounding slightly odd
offered without reserve
to the north american ear: the “Smart & Pure” as the base model, the
“Smart & Pulse” as the performance model, and the “Smart & Passion” as
the comfort model. The renowned performance tuning house Brabus has
had a longstanding relationship with Mercedes-Benz and has provided
technical and visual upgrades for the Smart since its introduction. Brabus
was founded in 1977 as a high-performance aftermarket tuning company
with specialization in Mercedes-Benz, Smart, and Maybach vehicles. It
quickly became the largest Mercedes tuner other than Mercedes-aMG,
which became a DaimlerChrysler affiliate in the 1990s. Smart-Brabus GmbH
is a joint venture of the two firms, and the example on offer here is “the
first example of the achievement potential of this joint venture,” which was
appropriately named the First Edition.
The idea was to provide discerning customers with an exclusive special
model—a new top line to complement the three existing trim levels. This line
combines the character of the “Smart & Pulse” as a performance variant and
the “Smart & Passion” as a comfort variant and provides an opportunity for
manufacturer the customer to Manufacturer drive both together. The Brabus modifications include a power
increase origin to 75 City, horsepower, Country leather interior, ID no. paddle shifters, ## body fairings,
motor lowered suspension, motor and exclusive Brabus-branded displacement light cc alloy rims. only 500
of power the First Edition hp examples were produced, length this being number mm 287.
