You do remember this teaser, don’t you? And perhaps you do remember how excited we were when it first came out. Finally, here we are reviewing the final product – 2012 Smart Fortwo Brabus Xclusive, heavily revised by our fellow team of Vilner: the magicians from Bulgaria who know how a comprehensive and high quality tuning is made.
In Vilner’s own words, this is the smallest vehicle that has left tuner’s workshop, but at the same time is one of the most comprehensive projects ever made, due to the complexity of revision and additions. As always, Vilner has spent most of its attention revising the already updated interior by Brabus. As it seems, our Bulgarian friends were not satisfied at all with what Brabus has offered and decided to make something in order to make the cabin shine.
The first thing that Vilner has done is to add numerous lightweight carbon-fiber components. These additions not only contribute to the overall sporty spirit, but also add a kick to the luxurious atmosphere. What catches the eye is the steering wheel: it is covered with fine leather, green accents and black Alcantara. It definitely looks super sporty, but elegant at the same time. Long story short, Vilner knows how it’s done.
Of course, every interior detail is serving a single purpose: to contribute to this overall incredibly fresh and advanced styling. Although it is masterfully shaped, the steering wheel plays just a part of the whole show. The central console, door panels, handles and, in fact, every single detail has received tons of attention and we could stare every single one for ages. This is how beautiful the final product is.
In fact, we tend to believe that Vilner not only disagrees with the engineering and styling solutions made originally by Brabus, but completely rejects the original tuning ideas. And let’s be honest here – sometimes Brabus team tends to make awkward mistakes. Luckily, the darkened colors, cheap plastic components and the overall unappealing design solutions are no more. Vilner is the new star of the show. A well-deserved position, if you ask us.

The seats continue this concept idea of a blend between black high-quality leather, Alcantara and sweet electric-green inserts. We also like the electric-green stitching. In fact, we see something incredible: even disappointed by Brabus, Vilner team still pays respect to the German tuner by adding a large “B” logo on the seats. We also can see that the gearshift lever still contains the Brabus logo. Neat, isn’t it?
We also have to admit that the interior looks super fresh and summer-ish: numerous black and grey components were changed with light electric-green and white ones. These include the speed meter, clock and many more. Even the backlights are changed in order to match the design concept. Of course, we do see this notable “Deisign by Vilner” insert.
Maybe the best thing of all is that Vilner team have decided to tweak the exterior styling in a way that fits the whole interior concept idea. With razor-sharp precision, the engineering team has covered the exterior panels with white covers, neat electric-green accents and this sweet 3D square graphics. The exclusive Brabus wheels are still present, but benefit from an electric-green ring. Also, neat contrast in colors is achieved by covering the front grille, emblem and diffuser with metallic black cover. And the insert that is my personal favorite: the super-elegant carbon-fiber detailing that is placed just above the rear wheels. Vilner team knows how to impress with style and precision. Definitely.
And for all of the touring maniacs out there: the Bulgarian tuning team has included an exclusive and purely unique bag: of course, it completely resembles vehicle’s color scheme. Made with carbon-fiber leather, Alcantara and a handle that is made of the same fabric that the seatbelts are made.
And there you have it: Smart Fortwo Brabus Cabrio by Vilner. Enjoy!

The latest variant of the smart fortwo cabrio was revealed in December and now, a month later, the cute mini car is about to enter the market. The open-top two-seater is about to appear in dealerships in February in its form equipped with the 52 kW engine and the twinamic dual clutch transmission. But don’t worry, because a variant with manual transmission will follow soon. The company has prepared for the customers three lines to choose from: passion, prime and proxy. In addition they can also choose from a large range of safety and comfort equipment.
Meet the new smart fortwo cabrio. It is as sweet as the previous generation, however it has an advantage: an electrically-operated fabric roof. This roof can be lowered or raised in just 12 seconds at any speed of the mini vehicle. But this is not all. This car also offers low running costs, stylish exterior and interior design and dynamic handling.
Following its brothers,the Smart Fortwo wtih 90 hp (66 kW) and the 71hp (52kW) Forfour now also come with a special fully automatic tiwnamic dual clutch transmission. What this means is now both models come with incredible gamma of engines and transmission systems: a total of nine engine/gearbox combinations. Furthermore, the redesigned models will be on the market at the end of July this year.
Smart and JBL brands showed the world, that you can create a concert hall in a Smart car. The cooperative work of both brands managed to squeeze the incredible 5720 watts in Smart ForTwo. Everyone knows how good the small cars are. But no one knows how good a small car with crushing audio force is. And this is not all: the engineer team created a mobile amplifier, especially designed for street musicians and live concerts.
The new smart which debuted recently is set to expand to six models. The entry level variants begin with the 45 kW variants of the smart fortwo and smart forfour, while at the top of the range sits the 66 kW forfour. Although so tiny cars, they come with a comprehensive scope of safety and comfort equipment. Take a look at the LED daytime driving lights for example. The names of the three lines which serve to upgrade the smart fortwo and smart forfour are passion, prime and proxy. Their features include a leather multifunction steering wheel, an instrument cluster with 3.5-inch TFT colour display and heated seats.
New smart fortwo and smart forfour are to make a world premiere today in Berlin, Germany. The next model generation super-minis are giving their debut under the motto “FOR a new urban joy” and they are to prove that they are the best city cars in the world. Daimler has announced that the smarts will include features that make the 
2014 Brabus Smart Fan Edition is a very special model. It was created by Brabus and Smart as wished for by the fans of one of the smallest cars in the automotive industry. In fact, this is the goal of an unusual social media campaign that smart is launching today on Facebook. The end result will be to bring the unique vehicle to the road. The project can easily stand under the name of “anything but convetional” and the major contributor for the realization of this is Brabus.
