Both the Brabus ForTwo and the ForFour showed up at this year’s Beijing Auto Show, bringing with them a more aggressive look and a little bit of turbocharging to settle the nerves.
Unlike in the official press images, the cars that actually set foot in Beijing were a bit more colorful, with the red ForTwo standing out more for obvious reasons. All that red was nicely mixed together with black wheels, creating a powerful contrast that should appeal to a younger audience.
The two-tone ForFour, on the other hand, was looking more stylish than its smaller sibling, though we reckon that aggression is the name of the game when it comes to these types of cars (Brabus), and not a quirky mix of colors.
In terms of performance, the turbocharged 109PS 0.9-liter engine is also good for 170Nm (125 lb-ft) of torque, resulting in a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of 9.5 seconds for the ForTwo and a top speed surpassing 180 km/h (111 mph).
Unfortunately, those numbers mean that this is a slower car than the previous generation model.
