An interesting and obscure detail:
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 for by the trick suspension bits.

Quite how you pack a V12 turbo in here is beyond me ;)
The world's most confident Smart ...
Optically I am fully with you :)
Although I have to say the modern one is pretty nice
This Smart is 599 cc i think
The new ones (Renault Twingo) are 899 cc .. both three cilinders.
Actually wrong !
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...
If it's not an AMG, the 65 is right (no commas), since a two litre is a 200...
Let me practice my French; net puet pas eviter les poseurs...
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 :)
It was never meant to seriously fool anyone, I guess

That is quite likely the explanation...
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
Awesome
I think its the Smart S65 Evolution Black Series. Insiders engineering info says it is faster than AMG Project One.
It does way more - I believe around 150-160 must be feasible...
Still not rocketing but...
