Brabus makes 125hp Smart

Brabus, the company of mentalists that makes the most extreme modified Mercedes you've ever seen, has turned its attention to the Smart Fortwo, and decided that what it needed was a lot more power. So, the three-cylinder turbo engine has been modified to produce 125hp and 200Nm of torque, which is enough to shove this little Smart 125R Brabus from 0-62mph in just 9.2 seconds, and on to a top speed of... oh, it's just 109mph, but that's electronically limited. Outside, there's a mean and moody body kit, while inside there is perforated and diamond-quilted leather and an anodised finish for the gearshift paddles and the handbrake lever. Fancy one? Only 125 are going to be built, and they cost €39,900 in Germany (say £36,000 at today's exchange rate) so it's going to be an expensive small car. Could just be worth it, though...
