Brabus, the famed German tuner that's made a name for itself by extracting ludicrous amounts of power out of some already very potent V-8s and V-12s that were at the heart of Mercedes-Benz's lineup of sedans and sports cars, brought to the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2019 a serving of re-heated stew. This is, by all intents and purposes, the Smart EQ Fortwo Ultimate E Shadow Edition Cabrio we've seen already earlier this year at Geneva, minus the Gunmetal Grey paint. It's got just as much power, the same oversized rims, the same hunched widebody, and the same tacky details like the illuminated door sills. You may never see one with your own two eyes since Brabus only plans to sell 28 (fewer than the amount of Ferrari 250 GTOs in the world) but you can't blame Brabus for only making a couple of dozen of these since it has already oversaturated the market with the 28 units of the Shadow Edition. Granted, this one is cheaper by a few grand although at 59,000 in Europe it's not cheap in the grand scheme of things. So, let's say you're in the market for an ultra-small city car that's also 100% electric and features a folding roof. What does that say about you? Well, on paper, you're a person who could do without the worries related with having to find a parking spot in the bustling downtown area of the city while also trying to do his or her part in reducing pollution - all with a dribble of fun added to the experience by the open-air feel of a cabriolet. What all this means is that the person that would be in the market for a Smart EQ Fortwo Cabriolet isn't looking for what the Brabus Ultimate E is offering, i.e. big wheels, more power, and less practicality because of the lowered ride height and the fact that it doesn't come with a bigger battery. In spite of all that, it exists and it's not even the only Brabus-tuned Smart Fortwo on the European market, there tamer options in the German company's portfolio if the widebody doesn't necessarily float your boat.
