Detailed analysis of the smart fortwo coupé BRABUS Xclusive · 98 CV (2008-2010)

General description

The 2007 Smart Fortwo Coupé BRABUS Xclusive is a statement of intent, a small urban rocket that defies conventions. With its compact size and a powerful heart, this Fortwo is not just a car, it's an experience. Its price of €21,120 positions it as an exclusive indulgence for those seeking excitement on every journey.

Driving experience

Behind the wheel of the Fortwo BRABUS Xclusive, agility is the protagonist. Its 98 HP, extracted from a 999 cc turbocharged engine, are felt with surprising intensity in a car weighing only 855 kg. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 km/h, electronically limited, promise fun. The steering is direct and the suspension, although firm, allows you to feel every curve with precision. It's a car that invites active driving, to squeeze every gear of its 5-speed automatic transmission, and to enjoy the sensation of being glued to the asphalt. Rear-wheel drive adds a spicy touch to the experience, making every traffic light departure a small adventure.

Design and aesthetics

The design of the Smart Fortwo BRABUS Xclusive is unmistakably Smart, but with a touch of aggressiveness that only BRABUS can provide. Its compact dimensions (2695 mm long, 1559 mm wide, and 1532 mm high) make it ideal for the city, but its 16-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, along with low-profile tires (175/50 R16 and 225/35 R17), give it a sporty and muscular stance. Exclusive BRABUS details, such as specific bumpers and a dual exhaust outlet, enhance its sporty character. It's a car that doesn't go unnoticed, a small giant that attracts glances and smiles.

Technology and features

Under its compact body, the Fortwo BRABUS Xclusive hides a 3-cylinder, 999 cc gasoline engine, with indirect injection, turbo, and intercooler, delivering 98 HP at 5500 rpm and a torque of 140 Nm at 3500 rpm. The transmission is a 5-speed automatic, sending power to the rear wheels. The front suspension is McPherson type and the rear is a rigid De Dion axle, with a front stabilizer bar for better control. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes ensure effective braking. Despite its sporty focus, the combined consumption of 5.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 124 g/km make it surprisingly efficient for its performance.

Competition

In the segment of sporty microcars, the Smart Fortwo Coupé BRABUS Xclusive has few direct rivals that offer a similar combination of size, power, and exclusivity. It could be compared to sporty versions of other urban cars like the Mini Cooper, although the latter is significantly larger. Other small cars with a more playful approach, such as the Fiat 500 Abarth, could be considered, but none match the uniqueness and extreme agility of the Fortwo BRABUS in the urban environment. Its niche is very specific, attracting those looking for a car with personality and performance in a tiny format.

Conclusion

The 2007 Smart Fortwo Coupé BRABUS Xclusive is more than a car; it's a style statement and a source of fun. Its compact size makes it the king of the city, while its BRABUS engine gives it a sporty spirit that few would expect. It's a car to enjoy, to feel the road, and to stand out. Its exclusivity and unique character make it a fascinating option for those looking for something different, a small great car that offers a flood of emotions on every journey. It's an indulgence, yes, but one that's worth it.
