$ 66.000 Smart! (in holland with taxes)

Jostyrostelli · November 30th, 2004, 09:47 AM

Brabus tuned the smart! Still a 3 cylinder turbo engine with....101hp!!!
Topspeed of 100mph (oehh) and 0-60 in?

11,2 seconds! That's just as slow as it was!! My mums punto is faster!! and about 1/5th of the price..

They're gonna build 101 and actually think they're gonna sell one....

Is Brabus going mad?

and they probably loaded it with luxury things like leather seats and stuff, and weighs a ton

(top gear reviewed this brabus smart, didn't they?)

Jostyrostelli · November 30th, 2004, 09:52 AM

No check again, forgot the pics, this one is "new"

I think it is a pure waste of money.... images/smilies/sad.gif

I can even beat that with my Proton with a 2.0l V6 engine... images/smilies/lol.gif

But it's still a smart. *barf*

No, they reviewed the V6 roadster, which is around $400k... Another beast altogether.

Fun with Smart is also spelled Crossblade, and it has a ridiculous price tag too - though not as much as these two.

v0od0o · November 30th, 2004, 11:53 AM

hehe yeah, completely useless....
I guess they just have to tune any mercedes, maybe just to complete the collection, and the engine bay probaby had no space for any other engine
And why are you happy that a proton 2.0 v6 can go faster images/smilies/icon_question.gif

This is a 600cc 3 cylinder, one third of ur engine's capacity u should be ashamed it's even comparable images/smilies/tongue.gif

idletask · November 30th, 2004, 11:59 AM

Anyway... Don't underestimate the roadster. Its gearbox is too slow, that's for sure, but not as penalizing as you might think. I drove a 101 hp roadster, in fact it goes quite nicely and sticks to the road like not many cars on the road - but not on par with my VX, but then which car is for this price?

The roadster is a great way to have fun, it would even have its spot on the track if it weren't suited with that gearbox.

Here comes another "," vs "." battle. I thought it was a $66.00 (Sixty-six dollar) smart!

Jostyrostelli · November 30th, 2004, 04:43 PM

Look again at the title...

Phix · November 30th, 2004, 09:03 PM

You know what.... I'm damn impressed with the engineering. 3 cyl. turbocharged making 101hp. Amazing. I remember the specs of a 1988 Chevy Cavalier Z24. V6. 2.8liter. 125hp. Stupidly retarded engine.

Damn...must be a pretty old one I guess.....

v0od0o · November 30th, 2004, 09:41 PM

hehe yeah, that's what I hate about american engines, 98172 litres and a couple of horses images/smilies/tongue.gif

v0od0o · November 30th, 2004, 09:41 PM

hey Jostyrostelli u changed avatars, is this a holden?

Jostyrostelli · November 30th, 2004, 09:43 PM
