Quite how you pack a V12 turbo in here is beyond me ;)

The world's most confident Smart ...  

Nothing a few letter stickers can't fix. :)

Cheers PAt

Exactly :)

Actually quite fun in a way...

Her "little" sister spotted yesterday ;-)

Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Very cool :) [nt]

 
 By: KMII : June 2nd, 2017-03:34

But I prefer the vintage version ;-)

Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Optically I am fully with you :)

 
 By: KMII : June 2nd, 2017-03:54
Although I have to say the modern one is pretty nice

If at least we had the choice ;-)

One day :) [nt]

If we're very very lucky ;-)

And what a line! ;-)

Best wishes Alkiro

Yes ...

 
 By: bimbeano : June 2nd, 2017-15:49
Certainly in the absolute top ten of all time epic cars !

Definitely :) [nt]

Prefer the correct color ;-)

...  

Very nice one!

 
 By: KMII : September 13th, 2017-11:36
And very decent to drive, too

The silver arrow one is mandatory for sure 😉

Shouldn't there be.....

 
 By: nomadgiles : June 2nd, 2017-07:19
.....a decimal place dot betwixt the L and the 6? ;-)

You mean...

 
 By: KMII : June 2nd, 2017-07:22
0,65?

Precisely [nt]

 
 By: nomadgiles : June 2nd, 2017-11:59

That would be understating it...

 
 By: KMII : June 2nd, 2017-12:02
Is it not larger than 800cc by now?

This Smart is 599 cc i think

 
 By: bimbeano : June 2nd, 2017-15:34
The new ones (Renault Twingo) are 899 cc .. both three cilinders.

Pfff ....

 
 By: bimbeano : June 3rd, 2017-16:00
i must be getting old ... it is a Twingo SWB then ?

Not quite...

 
 By: KMII : June 3rd, 2017-23:47
No two seater Twingos. But the base is shared

Actually wrong !

 
 By: bimbeano : June 2nd, 2017-15:32
An SL 65 has a displacement of 6500 cc i guess ... so a 650 cc Smart should wear a SL 6,5 badge ... the dot should thus be between the 6 and the 5

That depends...

 
 By: KMII : June 2nd, 2017-23:07
If it's not an AMG, the 65 is right (no commas), since a two litre is a 200...

Too confusing ...

 
 By: bimbeano : June 3rd, 2017-16:01
... had too much beer today so i'll think about it tomorrow

LOL :) [nt]

Let me practice my French; net puet pas eviter les poseurs...

 
 By: patrick_y : September 13th, 2017-10:30
One always sees so many "falsely" badged high performance cars throughout the world. This smart owner (assuming it was the owner who committed this fraud) is perhaps too ambitious... if he/she were "smarter" he would've put a BRABUS logo on there. That wo... 

It was very much a tongue in cheek action :)

 
 By: KMII : September 13th, 2017-10:34
It was never meant to seriously fool anyone, I guess

An interesting and obscure detail:

 
 By: cazalea : September 13th, 2017-11:31
My friend who has been dismantling the Smart electric Car2Go vehicles in Calif says many of the suspension bits are marked Brabus or share the same part numbers as the Brabus performance upgrade suspension ... I guess the battery weight etc is compensated... 

That is quite likely the explanation...

 
 By: KMII : September 13th, 2017-11:34
In the past diesels used to have the more robust suspensions due to the heavy engines - so were preferred as a base for performance reengining

Cool detail! [nt]

 
 By: patrick_y : September 14th, 2017-11:49

Thanks Patrick! [nt]

 
 By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:39

Awesome

 
 By: Gelato Monster : September 15th, 2017-20:01
I think its the Smart S65 Evolution Black Series. Insiders engineering info says it is faster than AMG Project One.

ROFL 🤣

 
 By: KMII : September 16th, 2017-01:23
And fully under the radar, too

or Maybe I am wrong

 
 By: Gelato Monster : September 16th, 2017-05:57
SL 65 here stands for SLowwwwwww 65km/h max

It does way more - I believe around 150-160 must be feasible...

 
 By: KMII : September 16th, 2017-10:21
Still not rocketing but...
