My Little Brabus Beasty

ah yes i heard the stilo was going... was a bit erm when they said what u was getting.

Nice little motor tho... and do u actually care waht ppl think? as long as you like it

never been in one.. is it fun?

H is well jelous!!!

very nice

hows the gearchange matt?was reading an interview with a mclaren guy (IIRC)and he had said it was the cars biggest let down

I couldnt give a damn what other people think, i absolutely love it, you cant call it a car, its just a go kart with a body on it.......surprisingly quick for a 700cc Turbo aswell

700cc turbo :chin: whats the 0-60 like? what can you do to them?

Not that quick in a straight line...

One could not shake my derv...

Well not having ever driven anything like it due to only ever owning manuals up to this point i see no problems with the gear change, only problem i have is where the paddles go with the wheel if your turning out of a junction and want to change gear it gets a bit confusing as to which paddle you need to knock..........but i just revert back to the tiptronic instead in those conditions

Am sure H will have told you that he loves these cars, but too impracticle and more than he wanted to spend on a coupe replacement.

I think he still might consider one as a fun car if he gets any spare money

the roadsters are cool little things. I've been in one a couple of times and they're fun to just drive about in the sun in with no top on the car. They're nippy but no performance car by any means. Although I suspect the fact that its a Brabus might mean its upgraded from the normal Smart Roadster

they are great to drive i think.like a go kart best put.

Ewwww, sorry but they look awful

Great looking little car, A lad in work has one, just the standard version though. He still hasn't let me have a go yet...

Book figure is something like 9.something seconds to 60, but im sure its quicker than that, and if definately feels it

Theres stuff out there for them although i doubt i'll do much to it, being the brabus one its already got the wheels, exhaust, suspension, slight bodykit, nice interior and 21bhp more than the normal roadster (101bhp up from 80bhp)

its faster then my brava thats for sure ... i reckon

They're certainly that........cant even find a space to put my cd wallet thing, ive resorted to throwing in the passenger footwell Perfect for the young free and single who lives at home and has nothing to carry ever

looks good, personally i like these babies and considered one as a replacement for my stilo.. but that wont be for a while yet though!

Good luck and happy motoring

i ment can you up the boost etc to make it go some? if you can get it quicker i'd be interested..

The brabus has raised boost, hence 21BHP more than standard.

Not sure if the boost can be played with anymore due to it already being increased on the brabus versions.........no doubt if you were that committed to going fast it could be done, but ive never been too fussed about performance i just love the way it looks........im just a poser
