Brabus Madnus

More pre-Frankfurt goodies... this time from Mercedes/Smart steroidist Brabus. First the Ultimate 112 is a tarted up Smart ForTwo with a sportier suspension, 18" wheels, an up-luxed leather interior, and Carrot-from-Chernobyl paint. The 112 denotes both the limited quantity of production, and the power output in PS from it's modified turbo 3-cylinder. 112PS is about 110bhp, and just fine for your average blang'd out dork buggy, but a little shy for one that costs 49,000 Euro...



Remember the Brabus Rocket, the fastest sedan ever, capable of 225.18 mph? Meet the C-Class based Bullit. Basically the Rocket's engine (all 730 biturbo'ed vee-twelvey bhp of it) wrapped in less 225mph-tree-impact-absorbing-metal. You also get scoopies galore, reupholstered interior (including swanky quilted leather floor) and the de rigeur alloys. For consistency, they might as well drop this engine in the Smart and the S-Class while they're at it. Call 'em the Spitball and the ICBM...

Do you realize that, at today's exchange rate, that Smart dealie would cost $67,689? I'd punch somebody if they spent that much on something with 110 horsepower (ever heard of a Z06, you money-wasting freak??)...

Oh, and how mad would you be the first (notice I didn't say only) time you spill some shit on those leather floors? "Almost done washing the car hon... just have to clean and oil the floor mats..."
