NEWS: Brabus Smartcar.......WTF???
 
I thought I'd put up this post cause I just saw a Brabus Smartcar the other day. I cant believe they made one. Still slow though (0-60 in 12).

One of Jalopnik’s experts in the field points out that the tuned version of the Smart car we pined for in an earlier post is actually available in Europe. Brabus, known for tweaking Mercedes models into Autobahn screamers offers a package of body and engine upgrades for the Smart line. Brabus’s engine mods bring the Smart Fortwo’s 0-60 time down to around 12 seconds, compared to the egg-timer acceleration number for the stock model. Of course, we’re probably going to hold out until Mercedes gets busy on the AMG Smart Car.

you gotta be kidding, nothing will make that car alright, even if they put two engines, i dont like the idea of sitting on top of your gas tank in a car that i can tip over myself.

Its because the car itself acts as a crumple zone, when it hits somthing it just bounces off, donts crush or anything, Back when this was Tsr there was some vids of it.

welcome to many years ago when the brabus smart was released.

even better are the british conversions where they remove the entire rear clip and add a new one with a hayabusa engine, apparently with the extra power, and the short wheelbase, the car becomes a tire smoking oversteering nightmare :)

The smart car is newly introduced, when the latest German two-seater is a little slower than the others, but it makes up for it with sleek design.And, of course, it's small enough to park in a Vespa space. Pretty smart. here is the link is more useful to us regarding this subject, http://www.smartcarvideosite.com/

theres a smartcar at this lopcal stereo shop with brabus tags on it, was wondering about it. this is like saleen putting their name on a v6 auto mustang and making it run 15's. its pathetic.
