About the Smart Fortwo W450 Brabus Cabrio Silver Dealer Edition Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Smart Fortwo W450 Brabus Cabrio reproduces the tuned open-top version of Mercedes' tiny city car in silver, issued as a dealer edition. A niche tuner subject that pairs an unusual base car with genuine Brabus performance styling.
Tuning a car this small sounds like a joke until Brabus actually did it, adding real hardware and a folding roof to a two-seater most people saw as a parking-space solution.
Brabus Meets the Original City Car
The first-generation Smart Fortwo, built on the W450 platform, was Mercedes-Benz's answer to dense European city driving: a stubby two-seater with a distinctive Tridion safety cell and a footprint smaller than most cars' rear overhang alone. Brabus, the German tuning house best known for reworking Mercedes performance models, applied its treatment to this unlikely subject as well, adding upgraded wheels, retuned suspension, and cosmetic details to a car whose entire identity was built around minimalism rather than speed. The Cabrio body added a folding soft top, turning the already unconventional Fortwo into an open-air variant that few outside Europe ever saw firsthand. A dealer edition designation typically signals a version produced in smaller numbers for specific retail promotion rather than mainstream distribution.
Kyosho's Diecast Take on a Compact Tuner
Kyosho brings genuine mechanical and modeling credibility across its diecast range, and a subject this small rewards careful proportioning more than raw detail count, since there is so little body to work with. The silver finish suits the Fortwo's practical, understated character, and diecast construction gives the tiny body real weight in hand, something a car this size can lose entirely in lighter materials. Displayed at 1:18, the Fortwo occupies roughly half the footprint of a standard sedan, making it a natural scale-contrast piece against larger companions on the same shelf.
A Curiosity Worth a Second Look
This is not a car most collectors seek out first, but placed among more conventional tuner subjects, its size and Brabus badge make an easy conversation starter.
