Did you ever think that at one point in time a tuner
would have you choose between spending nearly US$ 74,000 on a Smart ForTwo or on
let’s say, a Porsche 718 Boxster S?
Whether or not you did, that choice exists and it’s
because of the new Ultimate E Shadow edition Smart ForTwo EQ Cabriolet.
Granted, the Brabus-tuned city car is fully electric, putting down 92 PS and 180 Nm of torque. That makes for a modest gain of 10 PS and
20 Nm over the stock version, resulting in a 0-100 km/h time of 10.9 seconds and a top speed that remains limited to 130 km/h.
Visual changes include wider fenders, custom
spoilers, rear diffuser, rocker panels, 18-inch wheels, recalibrated suspension
and a more luxurious interior with red leather, carbon fiber and aluminum trim,
custom scuff plates and a “1 of 28” plaque on the dashboard.
The German tuner’s Geneva stand also includes a
bunch of other customized Mercedes products, among them the Maybach S650-based
Brabus 900.
