kinda... big turbo lag... two test runs just to build boost to maximum  :-\

Also I think the Brabus' plastic panels could not handle the air pressure :D

thats awesome..... imagine if it had an extra gear as it seems like it would just keep going if that 9000rpm limiter wasn't a factor.

Tacho might 'show' that it has a 14k limit....but that doesn't mean
to say that the engine will rev to that....I'd guess that it isn't that
far short of max'ing out at 9.5k but.....whatever....it's awesome
in it's own right, but totally impractical for normal road use.
Can you just see that on the UK roads..30 to 50mph in most places,
and too many speed camera's in other places.
Really it's a track day car.

And..not to pooh pooh it too much....I don't think any of our Brabus
owners have the money to spare to source a 2litre EVO lump and get
it to fit in.....and tune it to even half the output the Colt has in the video.
They'd like to tune their's up, for sure....but not for what that would cost.
(someone will prove me wrong for sure...and make me wish I hadn't said that)  ::)

That is really a shortened Evo with a colt shell on it.  Nice though.
