  • @foxmajik I drove a fortwo 451 - 1.0L today. I would say it does the same 0-60 as this video. But it doesn't sound as stressed as the video. I would leave tuning alone. I would say that the Smart Fortwo 1.0L is a lot faster than other small cars with 1.0-1.2L engines.

  • The problem with the fortwo 451 is not power from the engine, it's the transmission. Notice how the speed stops increasing for several seconds while the transmission shifts. Most of the power and RPMs are lost between shifts. Your 12 second run there is about the same as a stock fortwo. There are rumors that Veloce doesn't actually do any tuning, and that they just keep your ECU for a few weeks and then ship it back.

  • @sideburns2009 They *are* five speed...

  • @atgskater14 Twelve grand base, fifteen nicely equipped.

Most of the power and RPMs are lost between shifts. This means no matter how much power output you get from the engine your zero to sixty is never going to improve. Your 12 second run there is about the same as a stock fortwo.

  • sounds like a lawn mower

  • Is this also with gearbox tuning, or just engine tuning?

  • My smart forfour feels like it can do 0-60 in around 8 seconds... 1.3 engine softouch, kicking down and sports start...

  • They aren't shit boxes but with the competition like a Pruis, VW TDI anything or the new VW Up! Lite which all get the same MPG with four doors and are quicker, it really is pointless to get one of these things. The mk6 TDI Golf does 0-60 in 9 seconds stock and gets the same if not better MPG without all the laughs. You could probably tune the hell out of one of these things and get passed by a woman in a Grand Caravan making a lane change

  • Who modifies a Smart car? Wouldn't that make it a dumb car?
