Brabus Kit for US Smart fortwo

[MSOEMiller]

Here's a limited edition Brabus version offered in Canada, the "nightrun". Only 50 made !!! Cost $26,000 (Canadian), which is $24,500 (USA) . I hope the regular Passion coupe Brabus version is $20k or less.

yeah, too bad about that.....although if its not offered I can't be tempted!
(and besides, if I want to go fast I always have my MINI Cooper S Works to hop in!)

I do like some of the styling cues, and presumably like other hip cars (MINI, PT Cruiser, etc ) lots of aftermarket suppliers will be around! One thing that I was amazed at on the Brabus were the 225/35 17" rear wheels!

Yet another MINI person. I had an '03 MCS Works car too until I defected and bought an extremely low mileage '02 Audi TT 225 for a little (much) better ride and better mileage (23 as opposed to 15).

I want the Smart to look fast, (the one that was styled to pay homage to Ferrari and does an 8 sec. 0-60 is my favorite Smart...wish I could post attachments and share it) but not necesarily burn up the road....I think I'm on borrowed time now with the men in blue. The 0-60 time of 13 seconds is kind of anemic, but, like you, I can hop in one of the other cars to get the speed fix. The Smart is coming to our home to be ready for the $5 gas days that I believe are approaching. I'm looking forward to thumbing my nose at all the Hummer drivers in my area. ;)

I'm with you on that!

Boy how times have changed. I certainly never minded years ago when it took about $25 to fill up the MINI, but now at about $45 a tankful....I can't imagine those gas guzzlers filling their 20+ gallons tanks!

During recent Columbus test drive at MB dealership, I talked with multiple Smart reps and all said the same thing, no plans for Barbus in US in '08 :-(

Talked to the MB dealer and told them of my interest too in hopes they may have a vote ;-)

Trouble with aftermarket is warranty issues in not authorized by Smart/ dealer.

So when I first contacted SmartAmerica about Barbus (see previous postin in this thread) they indicated the forfor and Brabus had been canceled worldwide. So I shared with them the good news that in fact Brabus is available in 2008. Their reply is lacking.
