"The BRABUS ULTIMATE R smart fortwo is powered by a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that develops 112 hp (110 bhp) / 82.4 kW at 5,750 rpm and 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) of torque between 3,300 and 3,900 rpm. The BRABUS ULTIMATE R smart fortwo zooms from rest to 60 km/h (37 mph) in just 3.9 seconds and reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) after just 9.5 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 170 km/h (106 mph).

The BRABUS ULTIMATE R smart fortwo is fitted with a Black-painted BRABUS Monoblock VI double-spoke wheels are mounted on the front axle in size 7Jx18 with size 205/35 R 18 high-performance tires. On the rear axle size 8.5Jx18 wheels with size 235/30 R 18 tires provide maximum traction. The height-adjustable BRABUS coil-over sport suspension lowers the ride height of the ULTIMATE R by some 30 millimeters (1.2 inches). Firmer gas-pressure shocks further contribute to the car’s agile handling with great safety reserves. The ULTIMATE R is available as a coupe and as a convertible. "

did they fix the understeer?

That thing would be fun in the mall. :lol

Given that they have installed 205's on the front and 235's on the back, no......They might have made it even worse.

And black wheels are so 1999 riceboy.

Gay. They should be stabbed for calling something with a 9-second 0-60 time "Ultimate R".

Not all of them unless you mean the all black wheels like the ones on this particular car.

Black wheels with a polished lip look killer in many applications imho.

I thought the point of a smart car was fuel economy?

"Km"

Best way to make a slow peice of shit seem fast on paper.

Switch that MPH to Km

instant road rocket

Common misconception.
It's designed for city dwellers (areas with limited parking).
The point of it IS the small size so it takes up a the minimum amount of space.
MPG is not the point of the car.

From an "enviromental" impact, it good because its minimalist...or something

:lol: Yeah back in the early 80's I was in Okinawa, Japan and took a car out on the Expressway and topped it out at 178 kph and later learned it was only about 111 mph. :lol

Left hand drive car...driving on the left side of the road as they do in Japan and running the little Mazda for all it was worth...gotta love it. :wtfru:

Damn...who knew all these years Karls penis was GOOD for the environment

So is a name like "Ultimate R" :lol

Seems like the O-ring tires and sport suspension (not looking like a lot of room for travel there) would make for a pretty nasty ride on potholed urban streets.

It still looks like shit no matter how fast it is

But how many have a polished lip? Only people with taste buy those.......And there aren't many people with taste. :lol: People withOUT taste buy 100% black wheels, like the ones on this car.

:lol: Ok I'll agree with this.

It isn't even an Ultimate Smart. Any of the Busa engined Smart cars are more "Ultimate" than the Brabus.

The Fiat Abarth/500 I posted a couple weeks ago would walk all over this.

Saw one at the mall (as in parked in the mall) a few weeks back. Surprisingly cute...

:lol

But could it beat a Euro Ford Fiesta? That's the real test!

Jeremy is the man!

Too bad he hates motorcycles.:td:

Only because he never learned to RIDE one :lol:

:lol: :lol: Hadn't seen that when I made the "mall" comment.

I thought bikes were awesome long before I was ever able to swing a leg over one. I don't understand how anyone who ever rode a bicycle as a kid didn't at some point think "This thing would kick ass with a motor". Maybe it was just a few of us though.

Jealousy over the fact that bikes can blow away pretty much any car he comes up with, plus split thru traffic.
