As if a smart modified by Brabus is not special enough, Daimler has launched in the UK the smart BRABUS tailor made personalization program. The smart BRABUS tailor made was launched today at the Frankfurt Auto Show and will go on sale this winter. The smart BRABUS tailor made program offers the choice between 18 colors for the exterior for both the body panels and the tridion safety cell.
For the interior, the smart BRABUS tailor made program offers the possibility to customize your door handles, instrument cluster, dials and light/wiper lever. There are six tri-top roof colors and nine leather/Alcantara upholsteries to choose from in the smart BRABUS tailor made program.
smart Press Release:
smart is adding a huge splash of color and personalization to the ownership of its fortwo models with the launch of an exciting new product design service in conjunction with performance and styling specialists BRABUS.
The smart BRABUS tailor made concept which is being officially launched at this week’s Frankfurt
Motor Show, will enable owners to design their own smart car from an array of special colors and bespoke interiors that will create thousands of combinations to choose from.
As part of the service, customers will be able to specify their car’s body panels and tridion safety cell from a palette of 18 vivid colors – each with a supercar/heritage theme. These include the vibrant Campbell Blue, which pays homage to the iconic Bluebird land speed record cars built and tested at Brooklands, the home of Mercedes-Benz World.
Interior detailing on items such as the door handles, instrument cluster, dials and light/wiper lever will also reflect the exterior color chosen. There will be six tri-top roof colors to select from too, as well as nine leather/Alcantara upholsteries, which will feature in the seats and other areas including door panels, upper dash and in the floor mat edging.
Dermot Kelly, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars, said: “smart has always been regarded as an iconic and unique product and the launch of smart BRABUS tailor made will enhance that reputation.
We offered a sneak preview of the range by showcasing four demonstrators at last weekend’s 2009 smart festival and the concept generated a phenomenal reaction.”
He added: “Business users have enjoyed tremendous success by using vinyl wraps on their smart cars to promote their companies and we expect the opportunity for individual retail customers to personalise their vehicle will be a huge hit too.”
The smart BRABUS tailor made service will be available this winter and offered at the point of purchase by smart retailers nationwide. To find out more, please visit www.smart.com
