Still a 16 month wait here in SoCal if you didn't pre-order. There are a few orphans here and there, but the colors are wack.

An idea from yacht design finds its way into the automotive world: The SLR McLaren roadster BRABUS and its “Tender for the City,” the ultimate city sports car BRABUS ULTIMATE 112, both with absolutely identical paint and equipment. BRABUS offers both exclusive speedsters with special snow-white paint for a package price of 699,000 Euros; a very special offer from BRABUS for all owners of an SLR or Maybach.

Hey Berto,

Those LM look awesome, but I think you need fender flares. You have to run a 3 to 5x112 lug convertor so you need a little bit of space under the fender. I wanted to do a widebody but we are doing something more subtle instead

No I haven't...and I'm going out on a limb saying that no such thing exists. Having previously owned a smart, I can tell you they would have a hard time squeezing in a V6, let alone a big V12.

IF by some miracle of heaven they were able to shoehorn a V12 into a smart, I would very much like to see it. I'd also like to start taking bets on how quickly the new owner will wreck it.

I bought one too. The damn things gets so much attention. 16 month wait here in Phoenix. Working on the audio system right now. Interesting car to say the least.

I've driven one a couple of times (since we've had them for 10 years already) but is it still the robotic manual gearbox with the slow shifts?

Congrats!! But be careful in driving these golf karts.

Just last week, a woman died in the hwy driving a Smart. According to local news, wind was blowing heavily on toll bridge, and witnesses saw the Smart hit the side railing and flipped.
