- Brabus have a habit of turning cars into something a little crazy and one of their latest introductions is the Ultimate 125, a limited edition run of 125 Smart cars with 125 horsepower, for €50,000. The 'regular' Brabus Smart is the top spec version of the ForTwo from the factory with 110PS, already a fair hike from the base 71PS but now it's gone even more wild with the Widestar bodykit, 18" wheels all around and a new exhaust system with triple-tips.
As a car though, that much power through something so small, on large wheels with tough springs makes it quite a go kart and a very solid ride. It can turn on a sixpence and it's the tiniest thing you can imagine, and in this case, Brabus have even given it a new interior finish too!
Let's take a walk around the Brabus Ultimate 125 and then go for a drive to see what it's like.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Brabus have a habit of turning cars into something a little crazy and one of their latest introductions is the Ultimate 125, a limited edition run of 125 Smart cars with 125 horsepower, for €50,000. The ultimate city car to include in a supercar collection?
крутая машинка
"E" and "S" stand for Eco and Standard. Not Sport. Weird but true.
Mwah I like Sport better ;)
Shmee150 at last..thank you Shmee i was looking for a detailed video of the Ultimate 125 for a long time! 😎👌
A mécanic.
to clarify the purpose of the brabus smart to all those curious:
it isn't a car that would make sense to buy unless you have a lot of money and you are looking for a car for the city. Nowadays there are many wealthy people in the city who are trying to find fun small cars to go around and park in. These are usually younger, more active people. This would suit someone with a lot of money who is looking for a more showy small car. Cool car but definitely not your typical car shopper's buy.
half of me thinks it's stupid to pay 50k for a smart, but I also think it's awesome!
It is definitely cool :)
I’m 3 years late but have you seen the Aston Martin smart car 🤣
@@Snoopy4156 i am 4 years late...😂😂😂
I don't think spending €50,000 on a 125hp car is very smart. ;_;
for 50k euros you can get a great condition used 650/S7/CLS550
You could probably get a '60s Porsche 912 for somewhere around that price. Not sure which would win in a drag race tho..
Peter Lustig it aint 125hp, it's 70hp max lol.
Peter Lustig if you have the money and need a fancy yet quick city car, this is a brilliant car for the job
more like 7ish
It would take a lot to convince me to spend that much on a Smart...
The Cygnet is cheaper. :)
Agreed. 50000 for drums on the rear, f the hell off.
It would take me exactly $50.000 to convince me of buying this
What's the hate against drum brakes? They have advantages over disc brakes if the requirements aren't too harsh. And they are in the back of a 900 kilo car. The disks you'd need in the back would basically seem like bicycle brakes.
Although I admit that the look kind of silly with those big wheels.
HazardousFromage Put a V8 in it and maybe I'll consider it
With 250hp this would be somehow interesting but I don't see who buys this 125hp snail for 50k
you know it weights around 600kg?
125hp and 600kg but still 9,2 sec to 100kmph, it's fucking shit
It's far over 800 if not 900. A lot of steel is used for safety reasons
@@Hardie. it weight 1040kg :p
since when have smart cars been designed for real performance? even the performer models are out classed to cars with normal size engines, but that isnt why people by them. i admit as cool as this one is for the smart car class its in and i would own one, i wouldnt pay 50k either.
So $50,000 for marginally better performance and some red leather seats and a B sign on the front and back of the car and three exhaust tips. Seems illogical af to me. For $50,000 there are so much new or second hand cars which will fulfil any man's luxury needs!
I think the price mainy comes from the fact that they only made 125 of these. It's like a super braggy limited edition Smart for rich people. I've got a regular Brabus with a custom exhaust and some computer tuning and it's just as good for half the price. - Yet some people consider me crazy buying that already.
Limited production trim level, shouldn't justify a higher price. A manufacturer like Mercedes should be ashamed of this value for money.
When Porsche has limited production trim, they have a reasonable msrp. Its the dealers who then mark up the price.
Tomas Tham thats 50 k euro not dollars thomas....
04dram04 Mercedes aren't the ones making these, learn about cars first.
Yeah Dan Hall, listen to people before you leash out on people here. You buy a new Smart at a Mercedes dealership and make a contract with Daimler Benz.
I love what a positive and happy vibe that he always has when he talks about things.
Kameralnie... jest tu ktoś ?
Jest jest
Yep
Tak
Pewnie :D
Jeszce ja
50k... Dude you could buy a 400HP 2k17 Audi RS4 with nearly full spec here in germany
But that is not a city car ;)
@shmee150 But it won't get more bitches
Full Spec RS4 is not even close to 50k
More like 95
I just ordered a Golf R facelift which is 53k
no.. there is no 2k17 audi rs4 yet...
Hsals96 and you are 21? Nicely done. How come?
What is really sad is that Brabus won't sell anyone the wheels or body kit. Sure they want to make it exclusive but it just sucks there is little tuning available for the rest of us.
The Brabus Ultimate 125 is a €50,000 joke*
Same thing that I was thinking. It is tuned by a company that makes S900 or the G6x6 and then they make this Smart and want €50.000 for it. I just want to mention that you can get a pretty good configured Golf GTI for less. Ok it might be bigger but it has more power and because its bigger you can fit more of your groceries in it.
But it is not necessarily more cool... The customers that buy this kind of city cars use them next to their hyper- and supercars, since the Brabus Smart can also be fully customised. In the end, they are not really fussed about a Golf GTI.
So a Brabus Smart is more for the customers that want a city car, maybe daily driver, that already own a fleet of hyper-/supercars. And a Golf GTI is the customer that only owns one maybe two cars. I don't hate Brabus or Smart but I would get a GTI or something else in that class because for me it would be more useful on day to day bases although I'm more the motorcycle guy.
SideswipeLP you rarely see ppl drive these because there ugly, to small and demasculine and most of all this thing is a death trap, get hit by anything at good speeds and your definitely fucked
Paladin you obviously don't know shit about smart cars because they have a better crash rating then most sedans
Looks so awesome, but as usual it's pricy. But still an awesome video by you Tim. Love the work you put up for your videos :).
The one thing I've noticed about these type of "owning cars" youtubers vs real "car guy" youtubers is they always rev the engine like 5 seconds after a cold start
Love that you also review these kind of cars. It looks like a souped up golfcart ^^.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE FAST SMARTS. Sorry for the caps lock, but I've wanted one for so long
Thank you for the nice walktrough of the Smart Brabus Ultimate 125.
I do like the car but i think the Fiat 500 Abarth is more like the nicest city car.
drum brakes on Brabus? 50k for the drum brakes? :D
It's a sensible purchase to start with.
It have a 0.00000023% of customer base .
Isn't it funny how people think disc brakes are cool, an essential sport upgrade. When on a light car, the drums are perfectly sufficient on the rear of a car.
@@stephen300o6 "sufficient" should not be used in a sentence with 50k moneys.
@@stephen300o6
Sufficient and better are 2 different things. Discs are better on a sports car in every aspect. They are significantly easier to work on besides the performance difference. Anyone can change pads and rotors. Drum brakes are a pain to work on.
Nice Video! Enjoying as always!
So... All that extra money for only 0.3sec and about 10 km/h extra? That's a huge NOPE.
8 secs
It'd need to improve from 9.5s to 100kmh down to around 4.5s to be worthy of getting a Brabus name for me. At 9.2s I think of that as a reasonable time for a VW Camper van with 75hp.
I just watched Doug DeMuro's review of the Pontiac Aztek, and it does 0-60 in 9.4 seconds. Imagine the shame of owning a Brabus and not being able to shake off an Aztek.
You don't want to get into an accident in that thing
imagine the funeral costs!
The frame is overbuilt. You and put a Range Rover on top of the thing and the frame wouldn't even buckle.
@ezar howard stiff frame and zero crumple zone is a nice recipe for death
ezar howard you are so dumb
Jack Chappell Look at the smart car vs s class accident video
Can't say that this car does anything for me but you made the car entertaining cheers 🙂
Thank you :)
Thank you for the review. Cheers 😀👍👍👍
I see Smart made some great improvements in this new model. And Brabus have done a fantastic job, as expected. Great video, Tim
I like it but considering brabus have had there hand on it only 125 bph
Stephen Phoenix-Roberts yeah... I would at least expect 150hp
Hoping someone puts a turbocharged fz-09 motor in it.
They're a tuning company. They only have so much to work with. Considering that almost double horsepower is quite impressive
I like SmartCars, especially the new look. I think this thing looks cool and I'd buy one... IF IT WAS CHEEPER! I think it would be great fun to drive that thing with that much horsepower in such a tiny body.
Hey awesome video ! ;)
I think i'd rather get the 595 abarth instead haha
Then do that haha
Definitely think the same. I LOOOOVE FIAT
Nice drum brakes brabus
Never been a fan of smart cars but this is tempting
i love that little car in the city!
How tf can smart be aggressive?
It's just cute!!!
I rather buy an abarth 595
M. A.K o
M. A.K I was walking up a hill one day and hear a very nice sounding bike. I look back and see a smart car driving past the lights. My dad never believed me but then we went into a building where I saw the same Smart car and it turned out that they put in a yamaha R1 engine into it 😂😂 damn savages. Since that day I've always wanted to buy a smart car so I can do exactly the same with it 😂 only problem is that there was not reverse but no worries it's so light so you can just nudge it into a parking 😂
Alejandro needs this!
Very cool little Sportcar😁❤
Lol even shmee was hysterically laughing when he pointed out the diamond stitch pattern seats, on a smart xD
Not first, not second, but still here to see another awesome video
Welcome :)
Thanks mate!
Not being funny but people who spend that money must have some kind of brain damage, my fiesta st line 2016 cost 13000 and has 138 bhp
This car is meant for people that want something bespoke and unique, but also limited. Those kind of customers are normally not interested in a Fiesta ST, but want something cool and unique next to their line up of hypercars and other Brabus cars. ;)
wow wasn't expecting a reply! :) I get that but these people sure do know how to waste their money
Shmee150 maybe also a car are cars to fit on a yacht one of those.
you cannot think like rich people , simple is that , this car is for fun , like a toy for them ; they have 400k coupe rolls already; dacia sandero cost 10k euro with the same 0,9tce Renault engine but wit 15 inch wheels unfortunately :)
Basically peeps with more money than sense (cents)!
Wow, the 18" rims in the rear really show off the ancient drum brakes. Didn't even know cars still came with drum brakes...especially cars costing more than 15k!
Great washing machine review 😝👍🏾
I'm from Kameralnie! :D
So I have the Smart Salomondrin gave away, how much would it be to convert it into that?
Greetings from California!
Angel Villegas what it look like now? I remember you winning that
Dude that looks like an Luxus Version of an Abarth. I like it
€50,000 = about $60,000. If I were to spend that much money on a car, I'd get a Corvette C7, since it starts at $55,450 and it has more space, more horsepower, available in a 7 speed manual, and has a huge aftermarket background. That smart will blow up if you change the air filter. I actually like Smarts, I find them to be nice tiny cars, but I don't think anyone would pay about $60,000 for a Smart with a bunch of leather and a B at the front of it.
Great Review. I owned the last Generation Brabus Smart and with a few tweaks it was blowing 130hp and was derestricted and would eventually do 200kph however you'd need balls the size of cannon balls to drive it at that speed for long as any input into the steering wheel made the car move and the wind noise was horrific. For those saying the price is too high, yes it is high but if you own one how many other Brabus Smarts will you see on the roads. Three years of ownership and never saw another one on the roads.
mykp and you get beaten by every corsa opc or polo gti XD
Did you buy the Senturion key when in Monaco, or was it just a sponsored video? It has not been seen since the video showing us it.
I have it at home, but I am not using it often since it is linked only to the 675LT.
Shmee150 So you spent over £40,000 on something you hardly wear? That certainly doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. Can it not be linked to multiple vehicles?
Scott Sherman He probably got the key for free or for a good price. No way he paid that much for a key.
After 28 mins I finally got to watch Tims video
I like all your videos but love it when you do regular cars. Most people can't afford a supercar. Was wondering if you would consider doing a video about upgrading a 2015 vw gti to a 2018 golf R if it's worth it?
Jestem od Patryka z Kameralnie
Ja tesz
I ja
Ja tesz
You pay 50k and you still get standard seats with poor side support. Lame move from Brabus.
Just been surprised by you popping up at Knockhill doing the reverse grid draw. Looking forward to a behind the scenes video please?
Cute!!! Want one for everyday driving
Kameralnie pozdro! ;)
Imo this seems like the perfect car for the daughter of a millionaire. It's "cute", perfect for the cities, understated on the outside but is nice on the inside, and it's just fun.
A daughter of a millionaire want something with more seats than 2. They would rather have a 5000€ POS than this gimmick
Shmee 150!thank you
Always loved Smart, especially Brabus Smart. Until I saw this vid my favourite was Brabus Coupe Cabrio Xclusive. I really want this.. As Archie would say., look at it sat there.
Jestem z kamerelnie pozdro!
Hi Shmee, I'm guys!
14:59 very funky climate control! Looks like a blast from the past! LOL
Shmeeing (verb): saying "HIIIIIIIIIIIII GUYZZZZZZZZZ I'M SHMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" all the time.
£50k for a car and the key is same as a Vauxhall van :)
Kto jest z kameralne
Awesome car!
I Owned the 71PS Version year 2008
Best thing I've ever seen I want one
Kto od kameralnie?
perfect for Amsterdam.
great video
crazy car...I love it!
kto od Kameralnie?
And........ here I am struggling to even afford regular honda, nissan or other japan cars
I came here for a laugh but it actually looks really good. I can't see €50K but it is without a doubt the best looking smart I've ever seen.
Cool Car 😍, Brabus make everything beautiful 😎
My od Kameralnie😎
"performance upgrades"....has drum brakes.
Since the roof folds down, why does the sides allows for removal? Isn't that kind of redundant?
Do you know what we haven't heard for months, the whole "mclaren 675lt finished in MSO Orion purple" phrase.
Pozdro wszystkim co też od Kameralnie
You can buy a proper AMG for 50k
The Smart have a 1000 ccm motor.
You can roll the roof of at any speed.
It have the tightest turning radius at 6.5 m
Awesome car!
jestem od kameralnie
Kameralnie
I love this car i have the old gen
Love the drum brakes
At best I would spend 6k on a smart car... used.
I'm just glad you're driving a Brabus vehicle outside of the Brabus parking lot I hate how they keep you captive when you go there
The cars that I film on the parking lot are not registered yet and/or sold to a customer.
This is my dream car!
Jestem od Kameralnie
Ja od kameralnie
Those seats !
11:03 - the first video where @schmee150 is trying to avoid the autobahn 😂
KAMERALNIE
Hi Shmee, I'm guys and today we sort of will be taking a look at sort of a car that is sort of awesome if you catch my sort of drift.
That car is so sick
Hi shmee, could you explain how to buy a new smart Brabus if they are Only limited in number thanks
Ja od Kameralnie
I'd take one ;)
Hey I found your G.
Hi,Tim,good review !! I'd want ask you,have you ever thought of buying a brabus model like the CLS Rocket ? It may be a proper car for long trip in autobahn as you usually do!
Not really... I use the Ferrari for that :)
That is dope
Waste of your money in a nut shell
