Chip tuning for Smart ForTwo 1.0T (Brabus) 98 hp ECU
Smart ForTwo (2000) 1.0T (Brabus) 98 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG / Geely (с 2020 — JV) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 98 to 110 hp (+12 hp, +12%) and torque from 140 to 165 Nm (+25 Nm). The 2000 generation — old-era petrol ECUs (ME7/ME9/MED9/Simos) with easily readable memory.
The Smart #1 and #3 are the new generation of electric crossovers built on the Geely platform. Smart is a German compact-car brand within the Mercedes-Benz Group, and since 2020 a joint venture with Geely. Smart historically used Mitsubishi and Renault engines. Low-output Mercedes petrol engines are naturally aspirated, so the gain is modest but safe. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness. AMG Performance Studio is the factory tuning studio for bespoke work.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. On naturally aspirated Mercedes engines without a turbo, the main effect is on throttle response. In the Mercedes city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort and responsiveness than power. On low-output Mercedes engines, Stage 1 is safe and does not over-stress the hardware.
