Brabus Ultimate 112 (451/2008 smart fortwo)
Well anyone who has ever said the smart is slow has never seen the new Brabus Ultimate 112 as while its not going to be breaking any records with a 0 - 60 in 3.9 seconds.Ok that's Km/h, but its still fast for this size of a vehicle and makes for a while ride behind the wheel. The 0 - 100 Km/h (0-60 Mph) is 9.5 seconds, which is a 3.8 seconds fast then the base smart. BTW that's almost a 30% improvement in performance.
While here in Canada and the… Continue

Smart 451 Roof on Passion Coupe
If you have the passion coupe model of the new 2008 smart 451 then you are in for a treat as the roof is not only amazing for the driver its an amazing feat of engineering.While most think its glass, actually the roofs in the new 451's are actually made of plastic (Makrolon® Polycarbonate) and are very durable and light weight. It was built for smart by Bayer (yes the aspirin company) and at present is the largest roof made of plastic.
Having this… Continue

Canadian 2008/451 Smart Passion Review

The exterior of…

Smart Cars in Halifax Dock
There where only 70 smart's but that number went up to almost 1,000. These first couple photos are smart's in the service area here at the dock. The majority of the cars are parked in the green area below.

Canadian 2008 smart fortwo 451 all Models
While the car's might not be all here yet the brochure for the Canadian model of the 2008 smart car is and its well worth a read. Even though the American version will have a few different options most of the things are the same in terms of the engine spec and style.Smart USA hasn't released a brochure yet and I would think part of the delay is that some parts the US smart is getting are actually exclusive to the US and smart hasn't had time to get this all printed. Canada… Continue
