So the unanswered question is: does this BRABUS model have the weenie 71 HP engine, or the proper 98 HP turbocharged BRABUS engine?
I suspect it's the former, which would be a massive disappointment. We got some BRABUS versions of the old smart in Canada.....which had the 40.2 HP diesel engine.

It's a poser!

The good news is that smart USA will be offering a Turbocharged version in a while, called the BRABUS Sport......
There's still no word if we get the "all mouth and trousers" version here in Canada, or the eventual Turbo version.......

I think the email to the depositors said that it is "under development", which I would guess means it might come in the 2010 model year. The thing is definitely developed, it is probably undergoing US testing for emissions right now.
