Brabus tunes the smart fortwo to come up with the Ultimate R

Brabus has given the three-cylinder motor found in the fortwo a tune-up, and it now produces 112bhp and 150Nm of torque. This enables the Ultimate R to go from 0-100km/h in 9.5 seconds, and achieve an electronically-limited top speed of 170km/h. Other performance upgrades include a new sport suspension, which lowers the car by 30 mm, and more rigid shocks.

Cosmetically, the Brabus Ultimate R has been given a gun metal gray paint job, while there are also new double-spoke blacked-out wheels that are wider at the rear, and clad with performance tyres. There is also an aluminium-tipped stainless steel dual-exhaust and alcantara-lined sport seats.

Other equipment offered on the Brabus Ultimate R includes an automatic transmission with paddle shifters that are located behind the new steering wheel, as well as a navigation system, radio, and climate control. The Ultimate R will be available in both coupe and convertible form.
