In colaboration with the styling/tuning specialists BRABUS, smart is launching a brand new exciting product design service. Uniqueness is the word, which fully describes the new smart service, and colour and personalisation are the deriatives, which allows the owners to design their own smart car and create thousands of combinations to choose from.

The first small car that benefits from the new service has been officially launched at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show – the smart BRABUS tailor made concept.

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 colours – each with a supercar/heritage theme. Interior detailing on items such as the door handles, instrument cluster, dials and light/wiper lever will also reflect the exterior colour chosen. There will be six tri-top roof colours 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.

The new smart BRABUS tailor made service will be available from this winter in smart retailers nationwide.
