谍照记者最近首次在德国拍到了新一代Smart ForTwo巴博斯版本照片。对于Smart来说，缺乏巴博斯版本就不是一个完整的车系。虽然对于这种微型城市车而言，速度和性能并不是其追求的主要目标。但对某些消费者而言，巴博斯版本是一种生活情趣，是他们追求拉风，炫酷不可或缺的好伙伴。当时这辆早期原型车正在进行测试，新车看起来比标准版更低，它配备了运动合金轮圈。在车尾可以看到两个硕大排气尾管，这告诉我们它是一辆高性能版本。那么与这两个粗大排气管相连的是一台雷诺开发的Energy TCe 90 三缸涡轮增压引擎。雷诺旗下多款车型，包括Clio、Captur跨界车以及达西亚系列都搭载了这台引擎，其输出功率超过90马力，达到100马力以上。值得一提的是，上一代巴博斯版本搭载的1.0升涡轮增压引擎功率102马力，车辆百公里加速时间8.9秒。当然，新一代巴博斯采用后置引擎，与之搭配的是一台五速手动变速器（标配）。想象一下，后轮驱动加上更宽的轮距将会使该车更富驾驶乐趣。除了五速手动，还可以选择六速双离合器自动变速器，相对于老款车选装的换挡不顺畅的手自一体变速器绝对会有明显提升。

 

All-New 2015 smart fortwo Brabus Spied for the First Time

smart may have revealed its all-new generation of fortwo and forfour city cars, but their engine range isn't quite complete yet, not without the all-important Brabus models. Going fast might not be all that important in a car the size of a golf kart, but for some people, the Brabus smart is a lifestyle choice and Daimler is only too happy to oblige.

 

These are the very first photos of the new hot hatchling, spied while it was undergoing testing in Germany. The prototype looks lower than the regular fortwo and it sit on sporty alloy wheels. Around the back, two large exhaust pipes let us know this pocket rocket means business.

 

So what's that exhaust system lined to? Most likely, it's a turbocharged three-cylinder developed by Renault (Energy TCe 90). We've already seen it on a number of other vehicles, including the new Clio we tested, the Captur crossover and across the whole Dacia model range. Output should be increased from the current 90 PS to above 100 PS. It's worth nothing that the outgoing Brabus packed a 1-liter turbo engine with 102 hp and could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.

 

Of course, this is a smart, which means the engine is at the back, not at the front like in all those other cars. For the first time ever, Daimler will allow you to row the gears yourself using a five-speed manual gearbox. That, the rear-wheel drive setup and the wider tracks should mean the Brabus pocket rocket will a lot of fun to drive. Transmission choices should also include the six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, a visible improvement over the jerky automated manual.
