Forfour Brabus
The Smart Forfour Brabus features turbocharged Mitsubishi 4G15 1.5-liter engine producing 177 horsepower (130 kW) and 230 Nm torque, upgraded from Colt CZT specification with 27 additional horsepower, achieving 0-62 mph in 6.9 seconds and 137 mph top speed. Produced 2004-2006 with Mitsubishi MH8304F ECU, the Forfour Brabus represents collaboration between Smart micro-car brand and Brabus performance tuning house.
The Forfour Brabus demonstrates surprising performance potential in compact four-seat configuration, with tuning companies offering Stage 1 ECU remapping to 202 horsepower and 290 Nm torque representing 24% torque increase within safe component tolerance. The combination of turbocharged Mitsubishi powerplant and Brabus engineering creates unique proposition in micro-car performance segment, though platform sharing with Mitsubishi Colt undermines Smart brand identity before discontinuation and eventual replacement by all-new Forfour platform without Brabus variant continuation.
