First teaming up back in 2002 and now embarking on a new era of collaboration, smart and BRABUS are no strangers to one another. As the first in the industry to abandon internal combustion engines and complete the transition to an all-electric brand, smart is again pioneering the best of two worlds, harnessing the creative energy of the renewed smart brand and the freshly invigorated BRABUS to introduce new kinds of exclusivity, uncompromising intelligence and next-level power to the market.
