"Tell-tale signs that this is no ordinary Smart include the disguised front bumper, which is deeper and features a new air intake design."

Strange....as the air intake is on the rear wing !

"...power increase to 110bhp..if not more..."
So it'll be just a bit quicker than walking, eh ?  :P

And what's that...
"..it'll land in the less powerful end of the hot hatch spectrum..."
so it's only a slightly warm hatch then ! (it hasn't even got side skirts).

No, I'm sorry...it still doesn't 'float my boat'....leastways not
compared to a 177bhp Gen1 Brabus ForFour that IS a hot hatch.

Sorry to be negative but is that really the best they can do   :(   ..... and is it even remotely  a " Hot Hatch "  ( it's not even close to original forfour Brabus  ) , I'm still not at all keen on it  .

20hp extra seems about right if they keep the engine.

450 61-74
451 84-99/101

so 90-110 is about in line. Don't forget the 454 was a different engine to the non-turbo 1.5 version!
