Brabus Smart Fortwo

Merc1 · 03-09-2007, 06:48 AM

With a third more power than the outgoing Brabus, the new ForTwo looks set to be quite a pocket rocket. The newcomer, unveiled at Geneva, packs a punchy 98bhp and has a sprightly 780kg to carry around, so Smart is promising warm-hatch performance for the first time in a ForTwo.

Okay, so it won't trouble the GTI brigade, but the new Brabus will crack 62mph in 9.9sec and is so fast they've had to limit it to 155. (That's kph, or 97mph, mind).

This is the Smart model we should be getting here, maybe it will come later if sales are good.

I don't think this car really deserves the brabus tuning, bit tame for them!

I'm surprised they haven't put their V12 in there!

It would be outrageous if they put a V6 in there considering how small this car is. I'm sure they've tried and/or thought about it.

What, like what they did with the smart roadster?

They could produce amazing performance in a car this small! Not sure how happy I'd feel though do 150mph in a car this small!

Yeah it might be too small for such power.

I'd kill them only for making that car...

I like this car

Lil' 3-cyl turbo monster

BTW: the diesel version of the old one is the worst joke ever

41 hp and a brutaly slow automatic transmission
