Smart Brabus tenth birthday

To celebrate a decade of its association with tuning specialist Brabus, Smart is launching a special edition model.

Named, perhaps predictably, the Smart fortwo Brabus 10th Anniversary, production will be limited to merely 100 units.

On the outside, just about everything is painted in Liquid Silver, while the ‘Monoblock VII’ alloy wheels have a matt grey finish. Completing the exterior look are red Brabus logos, LED daytime running lights and titanium-coloured headlamps.

Inside the cabin, the seats’ black leather upholstery is complemented by a ‘10th anniversary’ script on the side bolsters, embroidered Brabus logos on the head restraints and red piping that matches various interior trim pieces. As a final touch, a plaque showing the build number is attached to the dashboard.

Like the regular fortwo Brabus, power comes from a turbocharged 999 cc engine that produces 101 bhp (75 kW / 102 PS) - good enough for a zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 96 mph (155 km/h).

Pricing and specific market allocations for the Smart fortwo Brabus 10th Anniversary have yet to be confirmed.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
