Brabus makes a tricked-out Tesla Roadster, but the tuning company also has a smaller, trendier side. That would be the new Smart Ed (from Daimler).
Since Brabus is a tuning company, not a car manufacturer, they aren’t making NEW vehicles, but they are definitely into making existing vehicles have more coolness factor. The Smart Ed is Brabus’ upgrade of the Daimler Smart ForTwo: an ultra-compact EV commuter that seats two.
In the Brabus version, the door frames are widened, the interior is greatly enhanced with better looks and ergonomics, daytime running lights are added, and a new soft top is put on. New seat upholstery, better color scheming, and a few other nifty little enhancements make this little electric box almost driveable.
