THE unique smart roadster-coupe V6 bi-turbo will make its second appearance in the UK, leading the London to Brighton smart rally on Sunday, September 26. Thesmartclub, the UK's official club for all things smart, has already received a staggering 1000 entries for this year's convoy of the coolest, customised and creative smart, making it one of the largest smart gatherings in the world.
The racy roadster-coupe prototype, created by smart BRABUS gmbh to show the versatility and potential of the smart brand, has two standard three-cylinder engines joined together to create a V6 bi-turbo engine, with 1,396 cc engine capacity and power output of 170 bhp and 220 Nm of torque. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in less than six seconds and reaches a top speed of 137.5 mph.
Al Young, Chairman of thesmartclub, said: "We're honoured that smart recognise the significance of our event and have agreed to bring this amazing car to the UK again. With entries in 2004 more than exceeding those of last year, and a host of forfour participants for the first time, we're looking forward to the biggest and best smart rally.
