Description
GENUINE $1 RESERVE - I'm moving so this car MUST sell!
This is my 2006 BRABUS Forfour. These are super rare and is one of the few genuine Brabus products you will find in NZ.
They came from the factory like this - it's NOT some strange conversion or aftermarket kit.
So what did Brabus do to transform the otherwise mundane Smart Forfour? Well in short, a lot:
Engine & Drivetrain:
- 1.5L Turbo (4G15T) - 177hp & 230nm (bare in mind it only weighs 1,090kg!)
- Getrag 5-Speed MANUAL
- Brabus Exhaust
Suspension:
- Brabus Springs (sits nice and low)
Exterior:
- Brabus Front Lip
- Brabus Side Skirts
- Brabus Rear Valence
- Brabus Ducktail Spoiler
Interior:
- Heated Leather Seats (with Brabus embossed headrests)
- Brabus Gauges
- Brabus Shift Knob & Handbrake Boot
- Brabus Aluminium Pedals
Performance:
- 0-100km/h somewhere in the 6.Xs range.
- Handles extremely well.
Rarity:
- 1 of 1284 ever made
- 1 of 4 in NZ (this one is NZ New too!)
Heaps of recent work including:
- Cambelt
- Waterpump
- Rocker Cover Gasket
- Boost Solenoid
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Tyres
- Brake Rotors & Pads
- Alternator
- Electric Power Steering Motor
Car is factory (to my knowledge) aside from the aftermarket XXR wheels which are in superb condition.
I have owned it since November 2023. A lot of time and money was spent getting it back up to spec. It has also been serviced 3 times in my ownership (despite only covering about 6,000km total). I service every 12 months regardless of mileage.
Castrol Edge oil always used.
This car is the complete package - it's light, powerful, handles extremely well and is super reliable. It is unquestionably the best hot hatch that no one knows about.
Plate isn’t included.
Bonnet is starting to have paint fade and there's the odd scratch, ding etc. But overall it presents very well for its age.
Great alternative to an R53 Cooper S, Meganne RS, Golf GTI, etc... and far more reliable than all of them!
Viewing by appointment as its in dry storage.
Let me know if you have any questions!

If for some reason your account does have no feedback but you are a genuine buyer, please contact me directly and provide me with your Trademe name so I know. It makes my auction look rigged if there's a bunch of brand new, zero feedback accounts bidding on it! AND, it is not fair on the genuine buyers. Thanks!
