When Electrification Meets Audacity
Brabus, synonymous with extreme performance and audacious customizations, presents its latest launch: the Brabus #5. This novelty represents the culmination of the collaboration between Smart (which definitively buries its historic DNA of compact cars) and BRABUS (which renews its adventure in electric motors), resulting in a high-performance electric SUV.
The Brabus #5 is not merely an electric update of the Smart #5, it is a complete reinterpretation, infused with the Brabus DNA in every detail. The base platform, although shared, serves only as a starting point for a transformation that aims to elevate the electric driving experience to a level of exclusivity and performance typically Brabus.
An Exterior That Shouts Brabus, But Silently
Visually, the Brabus #5 leaves no room for doubt about its lineage. The brand's characteristic design elements are present everywhere. The more aggressive bumpers with optimized air intakes (being an electric car, I think they will serve more for the braking system), prominent side skirts, and a boldly designed rear spoiler give the #5 an unmistakable and dynamic stance.
The 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels, with the Brabus "Monoblock" design, fill the wheel arches, and the red brake calipers accentuate its sporty and sophisticated character.
Sporty Luxury and Cutting Edge Technology Inside
Upon opening the doors of the Brabus #5, you are enveloped by an environment that combines luxury with cutting-edge technology. The premium microfiber sports seats, with front ventilation and rear heating, promise maximum comfort. Carbon fiber details extend to the interior, adorning the instrument panel, the center console, and the door panels.
The state-of-the-art infotainment system, with dual OLED screens and an additional 13-inch screen for the passenger, offers an intuitive and immersive experience. The Sennheiser Signature Sound system with 20 high-performance speakers provides an exceptional auditory experience.
Aluminum pedals, illuminated door sills with the Brabus logo, and an ergonomic sports steering wheel complete the ambiance, reinforcing the unique identity of this high-performance electric vehicle.
Electric Performance with the Brabus Soul
Equipped with an all-wheel-drive system and a maximum power output of 646 hp and 710 Nm of torque, the large and heavy Smart #5 BRABUS offers surprising acceleration, reaching 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Its 800-volt architecture allows for ultra-fast charging of up to 400 kW, significantly reducing charging time (10% to 80% in 18 minutes). This combination of power and energy efficiency promises a range of 540 km (WLTP) and sets a new standard for the category.
