Looking for a Smart car with a bit more power, then you want the Smart Fortwo Cabrio Brabus.
Brabus are a Germany tuning company that only tune Mercedes Benz cars so since Smart are a Mercedes subsidiary Brabus have worked there magic on some of the Smart range.
The turbo charged engine that is in the Smart Fortwo Cabrio Brabus is tuned to 74BHP which converts to a 0-62MPH time of 12.3 seconds and will only be in Brabus branded Smarts. The exhaust definitely sounds meatier and definitely has more torque when you need it for overtaking.
Featuring a F1 style paddle shift the smart is a hoot to drive and if you forget to shift up then the Automatic gearbox will shift up or down for you. The Brabus will easily sit at 70MPH all day but the road and engine noise becomes a little tiring and is rather hard to blank out.

The ride is very firm which is ok for back roads but due to the Smarts shorter wheel base speed bumps can be bit of a pain as you tend to drop off them rather than going over them. Electric power steering is an optional extra on the Brabus which is a bit shocking in these modern times.

The Smart is mainly designed for town driving as it can be parked in the smallest of spaces and manoeuvring is made easy due to its short length.
