World reknowned Brabus?

Anyway,remember that naked version of theHonda Blackbird? That's it right there.

[KungFooBob]

Brabus usually make Mercedes and Smart cars go very very fast.

It's a change to see them branch out into making ugly motorcycles even uglier.

Ah,car bits. That's why they didn't register with me.

[KungFooBob]

They put extra engines in Smart cars and stuff, I'm pretty sure there was an F1 team at some point.

[MrLongbeard]

But I don't reckon my wallet will like the price

[Supermofo]

They've not done well at improving the looks!!!

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Is it a bus full of bras?

Normally they fit 800bhp V8s to Merc saloons and the like.

You're thinking if Brabham F1 I reckon Bob.

[G.P]

I would have expected a 220+bhp animal from Brabus. Sounds like they've branched out in to making tat?

Sounds right up your street

TBF they've always made tat

But I thought the same as you. If you say "Brabus" I immediately picture a car with far too much power and a snowplough bumper. The KTM seems tame by their standards

[Pgm]

I think it looks awful and £35k they’re having a proper laugh but they’ll sell the lot no doubt.

Bloke I know has a Brabus Smart car.
As well as a TVR Cerbera (sp?) and various other bits and bats.

The Smart Car is so it fits into the awkward lane behind his office.

[GuzziPaul]

Saw a Brabus Smart car in Dubai, which I thought was a waste of time and money. if they wanted more poke they could have got a Mini Cooper or some other small hot hatch.

In the case of the bloke I know, I seriously doubt even an old style mini wouldn't manage the turn into his office property.

[Couchy]

Looks like a CB1000R, it’ll be sold out bought by the same people that buy the brands cars as it’s pocket change. Poor effort tbh

[Pirahna]

I had a Smart Brabus, one of the early 700cc things. It was an OK thing to own and drive but hardly what you'd call high performance. 0-60 was around 10 seconds, so on par with an average family car. I'd have no problem owning another.

[Taff]

Oh.

[Tricky]

Oh.

Wow, that's really hideous from the side-on view, that syling job has made it look really fat and heavy, and dull too-yuk.

I much prefer the look of the standard (2020 onwards) bike - even with the standard numberplate hanger



And with a few £k to play with for some special paint , plating and choice bling I reckon I could improve it further and do a much better job than Brabus have
