  • Hot hatch drag race



    Given the colt is down 30bhp on the BRAB and missing quite a bit of torque over its "twin", shows off what the BRAB is possible of

    If it was the BRAB, it probably would hae been with Clio, focus st and mini cooperS

    I would never attempt to beat linda's forFour diesel away from the lights - the torque is incredible,
    coupled to a very modest kerbweight

    In fact it will thrash just about anything from the lights which can be very useful - Nottinghamshire
    in particular is littered with Traffic lights with 2 lanes which filter into one after 30-40 yards.

    Would the Brabus match the diesel unit in terms of torque? I haven't seen any figures but would be
    an incredible drive if it beat it....

      Hell yeah - 230Nm of torques, delivered at a min of 90% across the rev range (from about 3500rpm)

      Getting the power down is hard and that's why I have wider wheels on the front.

      Next time we are both at a meet, I'll take you for a drive! It's a completely different experience to standard.

      The roadie and fortwo world gets a wee additional bit of bhp and some nice labelled bits when transitioning from standard to BRAB but in the forfour it's just a complete change! Whole new engine and well over double the bhp!.....and a top speed just under 140mph which I can confirm that 130mph is possible quite easily with a nice quiet autobahn - but then I got scared
