Cheapest BRABUS v Expensive BRABUS: DRAG RACE

BRABUS fans, we’ve got you with this one!

We’ve brought Mark McCann along with his BRABUS GLE 850, and he’s about to face off against the cheapest BRABUS you can buy - and it’s a Smart #1!

So let’s see how the two stack up. Starting with the GLE, it’s packing an almighty 6-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 850hp and 1,450Nm of torque. It’s pretty heavy, mind, coming in at 2,350kg, and its power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox.

And then we have the Smart #1. It’s equipped with two electric motors, and these combine to produce 428hp and 584Nm. In terms of weight, lighter than the GLE, although it’s still a bit heavy. It tips the scales at 1,900kg.

So it’s a £44,000 BRABUS vs a £180,000 BRABUS. Will it be an easy win for the EV? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
