Smart Brabus Roadster

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Well my trusty 328 BMW gone. (Wife still has VRS Furby)

But I'm the proud owner of a silver 55 plate Brabus Roadster Coupe. All 698 cc.

Great fun.

Bit of a stepdown in size from the beemer!!

is that the one that does 0-60 in around 7 seconds??

Really,really fancy a

meself !

my brother loves his, leaks and all.

0-60 in 10 seconds or just under. Absolutely fantasic car. Been in one, as a passenger, and having the engine behind your head which is enclosed is such a laugh. I wanted one. I can get insured on a Fabia vRS, Leon Cupra R, and Civic Type R but not on a Smart Roadster Brabus.... LOL .... What's the world coming too...

Down in terms of refinement... although I still have leather(heater), Aircon, CD, Electric Roof.

Up in terms of FUN with a capital F!

The 0-60 is misleading as power/wt is 120bhp/ton. 0-60 relies on about 3 gearchanges which are painfully slow.

Remapped takes to 130 bhp and about 160bhp/ton (thats the same as an R32?)

When your a couple of inches from the ground & the engine and 2 foot from the popping exhaust it feels plenty fast!

LOL. I remember you from the E36 forum. Hi de hi.

Why'd you ditch the 28?

Its the four four Braubus that has the impressive 6.9secs 0-60 time.

Love these motors, Especially when fitted with the exhaust pack and the Brabus is IIRC.

Correct about the Tg one, it was a brabus, but it was a 1.3 turbo ( 2x699cc engines together). Unfortunately it was around £300 000 , and notoriously unreliable. It had to be transported to Smart meets/shows and permanently had a Mechanic as a passenger. :(
