BRABUS ULTIMATE 112 Appears in Geneva

 

The BRABUS ULTIMATE 112, based on the fortwo Cabrio, is a Pocket Rocket!

 

For those who like their dynamite in small packages, the BRABUS ULTIMATE 112 is based on the latest smart fortwo Cabrio and features special paint identical to the SLR Mclaren Roadster BRABUS. The little rocket comes complete with a body kit, including front spoiler, rocker panels and BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares at the front and the back.

 

The larger wheel arches aren’t there only for show, they house BRABUS Monoblock VI double-spoke wheels, which are mounted on the front axle in size 7Jx18 with size 205/35 R 18 high-performance tires. 8.5Jx18 wheels with size 235/30 R 18 tires do service at the rear.

 

In terms of power, the figures are very good for this class of car, if not a bit scary! The ULTIMATE 112 has a BRABUS three-cylinder turbo engine, producing a maximum power output of 112 hp (110hp SAE net) / 82.4 kW at 5,600 rpm and peak torque is 150 Nm.

 

Shifting the gears is done in automatic or with F1-style paddles on the steering wheel. BRABUS claim acceleration times of 0 – 60 km/h (38 mph) in 3.9 seconds and 9.5 seconds for the 100 km/h (62mph) mark. Top speed is electronically limited to 170 km/h (106 mph).

 

The interior is quite striking, suiting the character of the car, with its lipstick-red leather and black Alcantara interior. They also include branding almost every conceivable instrument in the cockpit with the BRABUS name, just in case you or your passenger forget what you are driving… extremely unlikely in this colour combination!

 

The BRABUS ULTIMATE 112 is available as part of a package with the SLR Mclaren Roadster BRABUS or separately. Alternative colour combinations for the exterior and interior will be available.

Press Release

 

The “tender to the SLR”in the white BRABUS fleet is the BRABUS ULTIMATE 112. It represents the ideal complement for city driving. The drop-top two-seater is built based on the latest smart fortwo Cabrio.

 

In addition to its special paint identical to the SLR the ultimate city sports car features a muscular body kit with front spoiler, rocker panels and BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares front and back. The larger wheel arches provide space for a tire/wheel combination that for this class of cars is highly unusual. The liquid-white BRABUS Monoblock VI double-spoke wheels are mounted on the front axle in size 7Jx18 with size 205/35 R 18 high-performance tires. 8.5Jx18 wheels with size 235/30 R 18 tires on the rear axle provide slip-free traction for the 112 horses under the hood.

 

The height-adjustable BRABUS coil-over suspension is specially calibrated to the ultra-low profile tires and the wider track. It combines direct, safe and sporty handling with excellent ride comfort.

 

With these modifications the ULTIMATE 112 offers the perfect platform for the powerful BRABUS three-cylinder turbo engine. It produces a maximum power output of 112 hp (110 hp SAE net) / 82.4 kW at 5,600 rpm. Even more important for everyday driving is the peak torque of 150 Nm, available on a plateau from 3,330 to 3,900 rpm, an exceptional figure for a car in its class.

 

Shifting in the BRABUS ULTIMATE 112 is done either automatically or the sporty F1 way with shift paddles on the ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel.

 

With sprint times from 0 – 60 km/h (38 mph) of 3.9 seconds, 9.5 seconds to 100 km/h (62 mph) and an electronically limited top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph) the snow-white roadster is the ultimate city sports car and thus the optimal “tender to the SLR.”

 

The car’s performance is accompanied acoustically by the sounds of the BRABUS stainless steel sport exhaust with its characteristic dual cast aluminum tailpipes.

 

Exquisite highlights also abound in the interior of the ULTIMATE 112: Like its big brother its interior is upholstered in a combination of especially soft and breathable lipstick-red BRABUS Mastik leather and black Alcantara.

 

Embossed BRABUS emblems are part of the exclusive concept as are accents such as speedometer, tach and clock, instrument bezels, dashboard trim, turn signal lever and door handles, all color-coordinated with the exterior color. Stainless-steel foot pedals with rubber pads and an aluminum shifter and emergency brake lever add a bit of racing atmosphere. Climate control system, radio and a navigation system for quick navigating in the city are also part of the two-seater’s standard equipment package.

 

Both vehicles in the white BRABUS fleet are available as a package or separately. Customers can freely choose their personal exterior and interior colors.

Geile Bilder.

Und die Farbzusammenstellung ist auch o.k.

112HP is not extreme much. The Brabus Ultimate 101 got 101HP out of 700cc. Thats about 144HP out of 1000cc...

Yeah but the 101 engine probably grenades at 25.000 km ;-)

...there are Smart Roadsters with more than that (around 115hp) and they don't blow up, so 101hp is defenetly not the peak with the old engine...

 

As they sell it "in package" with the SLR, they should have biult a propper engine for it, like 150hp or so...

that would, of course, be a bit much, but as it's Brabus... :-D that would actually be a real pocket Rocket :-D
