GGI EUROPEAN TUNING, INC. is pleased to announce the launch of a unique personalization program for the Smart Fortwo. The highest quality in component design and manufacturing techniques transforms the popular Smart Fortwo into an even more sporty and individual runabout. GGI European Tuning, Inc. is the exclusive importer/distributor of CARLSSON products for the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.

Established in Germany in the 1980’s, Carlsson is the world leader in Mercedes-Benz and Smart Fortwo tuning parts. Innovation and constantly increasing know-how ensure that Carlsson is able to set trends.

All tuning starts with a set of distinctive alloy wheels. Apart from looking good, an alloy wheel should be light and strong, qualities that complement the agile handling of the Smart Fortwo. Carlsson designed the 1/11 Evo BE as its signature wheel for the Smart Fortwo. It is their first stop on the road to making this diminutive city car stand out from the crowd.

Sold as a set of four with 7.0J x 16-inch and 7.5J x 17-inch sizes front and rear, the shimmering, polished then high-gloss varnish coated surface of the 1/11 Evo BE alloy wheel catches the eye whether the car is stationary or on the move.

Sport springs lower the ride height by around 25mm, and in combination with the larger wheels and tires, the car takes on a more rugged, foursquare stance.

The lower centre of gravity and wider tracks result in crisper steering response, lower roll, and significantly enhanced cornering ability. The increasing mechanical grip is particularly beneficial at the front axle, as the standard car is prone to understeer when pushed hard into tight bends.

The Carlsson aerodynamic styling additions give the Smart Fortwo a significantly more purposeful look all round. The polyurethane front spoiler, which attaches to the standard bumper, is complemented by an electro-polished, stainless-steel grill insert and fog lights with chrome surrounds.

At the rear, a new valance, also molded from OEM quality polyurethane, incorporates a diffuser. Carlsson offers this in combination with a stainless-steel rear silencer with four polished exit pipes for the 84hp turbocharged motor, and as an end-pipe only system for the 61 and 71bhp versions. This exhaust upgrade looks good and delivers a deeper, more sporting note.

The interior programme at this time consists of an aluminum pedal set and handbrake grip.
