Forfour evo

[Leomobile]

Saying that the Forfore and the new Mitsibushi Colt share 60% of the parts including the engines and that Mitsibushi are considering using the Colt as the next Evo platform for rallying, which would lead to a production Colt Evo which would be 200+ bhp. Do you think that there might be a 200+ bhp Forfour<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> in the pipeline or maybe a conversion as the ecu should be identicle in each car?

would be an interesting prospect!

when are brabus gonna do a model or are they gonna leave it and not bother?

The are going to do a model, think it's going to come out in europe at the end of the year. If you go to here:

And scroll down about a third of the page it shows a model with the brabus accessories on. There isn't a spec yet as far as I know though.

SmartySteve - thats damned interesting.

Still dont like it but perhaps a test drive would change all that....<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Surely it wont be a misubishi engine though, otherwise how would smart be able to make massive amounts of money from servicing when we coul get it cheaper from a mitsu dealer!

Allegedly some Mercedes-Benz Cars use Mitubishi Engines I would have thought that the engines could be Mitsubishi.....

Not about the smart but here is the article about the Colt Evo.

I doubt smart would let brabus produce a 250bhp production machine.
