It’s a performance version of the Smart #1 EV with 428 PS and 543 Nm, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of a claimed 3.9 seconds. Much of that power comes from the additional front-mounted motor, making the Smart #1 Brabus all-wheel drive (AWD).

The standard, single-motor #1 delivers 272 PS and 343 Nm of torque.
