I really like the red crocodile-skin effect (or is it snakeskin effect), I'm partial to a splash of interior colour.  Not so sure about the footwell bottle holder, though.  Looks like a shin-bruiser to me.

They're NOT red highlights/accents/whatever..they're Cerice Pink.... ???
and definitely one 'thought out for' the ladies, which I guess is why
there are 2 of them posing with it in the link pictures and also why
there are womens cosmetics in the under seat drawer.
But "Bellybutton"....   :-[     Why not "BoobBus" or "WomanWagen"  ROFL... ;)

The exterior colour scheme of the car is the one chosen for the
limited edition 'Starlight' model, being Starlight Silver panels
with Bay Grey for the Tridion...a really nice combo.
if they had just used proper red for the contrasting stitching
as an option for any model...and the nice fabric inset panels
in the pictures too, then that wouldn't have been too bad an
idea. Those would've made the 454 stand out and be really
special.
One can't forget those wheels though...'Grandline' 17" wheels.  8)

Thanks, I feel better now.  I think I'm going to have my water supply tested for oestrogen.

jmariog...I just love that hill climb ForFour...
Spaceframe chassis, mega blown out bodywork, 4x4 drive train
and powered by an 'oversquare' Mercedes 2.0 litre M111 engine
with 16valves, double overhead camshafts, and turbocharged.
It cranked out 600bhp back in 2008 and was built by Niko Pulic
in Croatia with the full backing of Mercedes Benz/Smart !
It only competed (and won) a few events before being put in storage ! !
What a waste of a machine....  :'(  :'(

The M111 engine was normally supercharged and fitted in the MB 'E' class
models made between 1992->2003, so really this application and car are
not 'true to original'....but I'd forgive it anything as it dunarf look and go  ;)

Here's a link to it in action.....so awesome...and soooo cool.

Anyway...I digress and apologise ha hi-jacking this thread.  Sorryyyyy.

 There are plenty of 600bhp Mitsubishi Evos ( in fact one to my knowledge is 646bho)running in road going classes in  UK hillclimbs which are not nearly as extensively modified as that hillclimb supersports special..Nearly 20 years ago there was a 600 bhp 4wd Audi S2 coupe using the original shell but with carbon fibre panels that was developed at home using the original engine , not relying on manufacturer help.
