Mansory for Smart ForTwo — The Smallest Car Gets the Biggest Treatment

There is something wonderfully audacious about applying Mansory's hypercar-grade craftsmanship to the diminutive Smart ForTwo. While the rest of Mansory's portfolio reads like a who's who of automotive royalty — Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari — the Smart ForTwo programme demonstrates that the tuner's philosophy transcends vehicle class. The same carbon fibre expertise, the same attention to detail, the same uncompromising quality standards are applied to this compact city car, creating something genuinely unique in the automotive landscape.

Mansory offers two distinct programmes for the Smart ForTwo: the Soft Kit, which adds subtle enhancements while maintaining the car's compact proportions, and the Wide Body, which transforms the ForTwo into a miniature supercar with dramatically flared fenders and aggressive aerodynamics.

Smart ForTwo Programmes

The Soft Kit — Subtle Enhancement

The Mansory Soft Kit for the Smart ForTwo is designed for owners who appreciate refinement without radical transformation. The front spoiler lip adds a purposeful stance, while the side skirts create visual continuity between the front and rear bumpers. At the rear, a redesigned diffuser and roof-mounted spoiler complete the aerodynamic additions. All components are manufactured in carbon fibre with Mansory's characteristic visible weave finish, though painted options are available for those who prefer a more integrated appearance.

Inside, the Soft Kit includes a full leather and Alcantara retrim that elevates the ForTwo's cabin from utilitarian to genuinely premium. Carbon fibre trim panels replace the standard plastic elements on the dashboard and door cards. A sport steering wheel with carbon fibre spokes and perforated leather provides a more connected driving experience. The transformation is remarkable — stepping into a Mansory Soft Kit ForTwo feels closer to entering a premium GT car than a city commuter.

The Wide Body — Miniature Supercar

The Wide Body programme is where Mansory truly unleashes its creativity on the ForTwo platform. Widened fenders extend the body by approximately 30 mm per side, creating a dramatically muscular stance that is utterly unlike anything else on the road. The entirely new front bumper features deep air intakes — somewhat humorous on a car of this power output, but visually spectacular. Extended side skirts bridge the gap between the widened arches, and the rear receives a new bumper with an integrated diffuser and a prominent rear wing.

The wider body accommodates 18-inch forged wheels shod with wider tyres, providing noticeably improved grip and a planted appearance. The interior receives the full Mansory treatment: complete carbon fibre trim, racing-inspired seats (to the extent the compact cabin allows), and a custom gauge cluster. Every detail signals that this is no ordinary city car.

Performance Modifications

While the Smart ForTwo's modest powertrain may seem an unlikely candidate for performance tuning, Mansory offers an ECU recalibration and sport exhaust system that extracts meaningful additional performance from the turbocharged engine. The exhaust system — a dual-exit design in stainless steel — provides a surprisingly spirited soundtrack. Combined with sport suspension that lowers the ride height and firms the damping, the Mansory ForTwo delivers a driving experience that is genuinely entertaining in urban environments.

Installation Notes

Both Smart ForTwo programmes are designed for straightforward installation at any Mansory-authorised workshop. The Soft Kit can typically be fitted within 1-2 working days, as all components are designed as bolt-on additions to the existing bodywork. The Wide Body conversion requires 3-5 working days due to the fender modifications and wider wheel/tyre fitment. Professional paint matching is recommended for body-coloured components.

Pricing

The Mansory Soft Kit for the Smart ForTwo starts from approximately EUR 8,500 for the exterior package, with the interior upgrade adding approximately EUR 6,000-12,000 depending on specification. The Wide Body programme starts from approximately EUR 18,000 for the complete exterior, with wheels and interior upgrades additional. While these figures may represent a significant proportion of the car's original value, the resulting vehicle is a genuine conversation piece and a unique expression of automotive personality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Smart ForTwo generations are compatible with Mansory kits?

Mansory programmes are primarily designed for the W451 (2007-2014) and W453 (2014-present) generation ForTwo models. Component fitment varies between generations, so it is important to specify your exact model year when ordering.

Does the Wide Body kit affect parking in tight spaces?

The Wide Body extends the vehicle width by approximately 60 mm total. While this is a modest increase in absolute terms, the ForTwo's already compact dimensions mean it remains one of the smallest cars on the road even with the wide-body conversion.

Can the Mansory ForTwo kits be combined with electric Smart models?

Yes, both the Soft Kit and Wide Body programmes are compatible with the Smart EQ ForTwo electric variant. The exhaust system is naturally not applicable, but all aerodynamic and interior components can be fitted to the electric model.

Is the Mansory ForTwo a good investment?

Mansory-modified Smart ForTwo models have developed a cult following among collectors of unusual and distinctive vehicles. While they should not be viewed primarily as financial investments, well-maintained examples tend to retain their value better than standard ForTwo models due to their rarity and appeal.

Can I order just the wheels without the body kit?

Yes, Mansory forged wheels for the Smart ForTwo can be ordered independently. They are available in multiple sizes and finishes, with or without the body kit components.
