Smart Car Goes Beast Mode: SheTalksCars Reaction to Brabus 428bhp

We drive the all-new 2023 Smart #1 Brabus 428bhp and we give you a candid view of both my reaction and Abi from SheTalksCars reaction too - ‪@SHETALKSCARS‬

Both myself and Abi had a great opportunity to drive the mad AWD Smart #1 Brabus on Millbrooks high speed bowl to put it through its paces.

See us push this little beast of a car from around 20mph to see just how fast this car really is.
