Brabus have a habit of turning cars into something a little crazy and one of their latest introductions is the Ultimate 125, a limited edition run of 125 Smart cars with 125 horsepower, for €50,000. The ultimate city car to include in a supercar collection?

to clarify the purpose of the brabus smart to all those curious: it isn't a car that would make sense to buy unless you have a lot of money and you are looking for a car for the city. Nowadays there are many wealthy people in the city who are trying to find fun small cars to go around and park in. These are usually younger, more active people. This would suit someone with a lot of money who is looking for a more showy small car. Cool car but definitely not your typical car shopper's buy.

It would take a lot to convince me to spend that much on a Smart...

What's the hate against drum brakes? They have advantages over disc brakes if the requirements aren't too harsh. And they are in the back of a 900 kilo car. The disks you'd need in the back would basically seem like bicycle brakes. Although I admit that the look kind of silly with those big wheels.

I love what a positive and happy vibe that he always has when he talks about things.

What is really sad is that Brabus won't sell anyone the wheels or body kit. Sure they want to make it exclusive but it just sucks there is little tuning available for the rest of us.

@iamsideswipe

Same thing that I was thinking. It is tuned by a company that makes S900 or the G6x6 and then they make this Smart and want €50.000 for it. I just want to mention that you can get a pretty good configured Golf GTI for less. Ok it might be bigger but it has more power and because its bigger you can fit more of your groceries in it.

@Shmee150

6 жыл бұрын

But it is not necessarily more cool... The customers that buy this kind of city cars use them next to their hyper- and supercars, since the Brabus Smart can also be fully customised. In the end, they are not really fussed about a Golf GTI.

@iamsideswipe

6 жыл бұрын

So a Brabus Smart is more for the customers that want a city car, maybe daily driver, that already own a fleet of hyper-/supercars. And a Golf GTI is the customer that only owns one maybe two cars. I don't hate Brabus or Smart but I would get a GTI or something else in that class because for me it would be more useful on day to day bases although I'm more the motorcycle guy.

So $50,000 for marginally better performance and some red leather seats and a B sign on the front and back of the car and three exhaust tips. Seems illogical af to me. For $50,000 there are so much new or second hand cars which will fulfil any man's luxury needs!

I think the price mainy comes from the fact that they only made 125 of these. It's like a super braggy limited edition Smart for rich people.

€50,000 = about $60,000. If I were to spend that much money on a car, I'd get a Corvette C7, since it starts at $55,450 and it has more space, more horsepower, available in a 7 speed manual, and has a huge aftermarket background. That smart will blow up if you change the air filter. I actually like Smarts, I find them to be nice tiny cars, but I don't think anyone would pay about $60,000 for a Smart with a bunch of leather and a B at the front of it.

Since that day I've always wanted to buy a smart car so I can do exactly the same with it 😂 only problem is that there was not reverse but no worries it's so light so you can just nudge it into a parking 😂

Have you noticed the Registration Plate on the car Shmee's driving reads 'BOTB'?

shmee is the type of guy to order a mimosa "premium unleaded" with a strait face right after he says "hi waiter, im shmee and today i'll be ordering..."....by the way i would love to see a review of an infiniti q60 red sport and get your take on that steer by wire control and what you think of that car as a daily

Great Review. I owned the last Generation Brabus Smart and with a few tweaks it was blowing 130hp and was derestricted and would eventually do 200kph however you'd need balls the size of cannon balls to drive it at that speed for long as any input into the steering wheel made the car move and the wind noise was horrific. For those saying the price is too high, yes it is high but if you own one how many other Brabus Smarts will you see on the roads. Three years of ownership and never saw another one on the roads.
