Not many i guess. I seriously doubt the rest of it was left stock.

Looked to be going at a pretty decent rate imo, far faster then any smart cars i've seen, sounded a damn sight nicer too.

Think this is whats in it m8. https://www.limiter-happy.co.uk/smart.htm

0-60 in 4.5 sec. Thought it would be a bit quicker then that if im honest.

Still much faster then the 12 grand brabus one though.

Brabus smart - Electronically limited to 94 mph.

GSXR 1000 smart - 130 mph. And 125 kilo lighter.

Still want one. Give it some slicks and uprated front suspension, and brakes. And im sure you'll beat quite a few more expensive "performance" cars out on the track. Thumbs Up

meh, if you want fun, an old fiat 500 and a small block chevy should propel you to 60 in about 2.5 seconds.

https://media.putfile.com/fiat-500--vs--porsche

he has probs getting the power down in this vid, it's a bit too small to be tubbed though.

My English friend's father exports Smarts to the U.S. and has his own self-tuned Smart with 17" rims, a supercharger and a few other things. Horsepower is up by 30 and it's capable of 100mph, giving quite a few cars a bit of a surprise when it doesn't disappear in the rearview quite so easily.

The car in that video seems to be traveling too slowly to be one of the 130 mph models...my guess is he's doing 90 in that video.

Sure love the sound, though!

The track looks quite wide to me, so speed will be deceptive with such a small car imo.

Also notice the orange beemer on track, just infront of the smart as soon as the vid starts. It looks like he gets passed him at the end of the straight.

How many beemers only do 90mph?

Theres also a Toyota ae86 trueno, the white/black car, that does 110 mph stock and he dusts that. Wink

Well, track width doesn't matter when it passes so close to the camera. It's easy to get an idea of his speed, IMO.

I wonder how much their aerodynamics affect top speed.
