smart #1 BRABUS Tested on Genting - Such Fun! Laughing All the Way | YS SKhong Driving

Honestly, I've never had so much fun driving a vehicle before. Our drive today involves the smart#1 Brabus - and we get to see what 428 horses and 543 Nm of torque can do in Brabus Mode.
This is a 'point and squirt' car - the vehicle height is a bit on the high side, and despite it being not as stable as a sedan, I must say it gives a pretty good account of itself.
You may not be able to see it, but from the start, we were being followed by a couple of very fast cars, but they couldn't make up much ground until the end of Part 1 when we slowed down for some traffic.
This car is so fast that you don't have to drive it fast - just wait for the road to straighten out and you put pedal to the metal, and it goes like stink.
Do enjoy the video and let us have you comments below.
Also remember, if you are on the road, to be careful and be a defensive driver at all times.
Thanks for watching, and don't forget to LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE - these things may be very small, but they really help us to keep going.

[@tommyjapanesk8]

I am planning to buy Tesla Model 3 based on your previous video. However, you really enjoy driving this new car and I need to think again whether I should buy this or model3… your driving skill is always super nice! Thanks for showing us the best review all the time.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you

[@jwojiunnkon6706]

I just saw this Brabus #1 this morning, looks way bigger than what I imagine it will be. 0 to 100 in 3.9 under 250k car, what an achievement.

[@enriquedavies4086]

Under 50k😂

[@azmiomar9330]

Worth buying😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes

[@m.adimasry8658]

Man that was a hell of a car! Was really hoping for the Ferrari to keep you accompanied 😭

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha - they must have been hungry.

[@hafizhafizo4714]

I think Mr. Ys Khong forgot to turn on the simulated engine sound, there have 2 different sound of engine, brabus & classic.. Thanks for the best test drive.. So if you want to know more about smart #1 we are wlcome you to our outlet at Jelutong, Penang.. Feel your premium drive 😊 #1 hafiz

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha - I did not forget. I turned it off.

[@saufikenzo1]

Nampak ringan betul perginya.. powerful

[@YSKhongDriving]

Betul!

[@kindface]

Uncle Khong, for the most part, you consign that yellow Pracing Horse at the back to a speck on your rearview mirror. Give the poor guy a bit of face ma. LOL

[@YSKhongDriving]

I think he was quite a distance away and I didn't know he was chasing. Anyway he did catch up near the end of Part 1. For rhw downhill part in Part 1, it is difficult for anyone to catch us because there is a max speed you can take the corners and it is downhill so any power discrepancy can be nullified. It was later on when there was traffic and you know we always slow down for traffic for safety.

[@etineram4639]

Supercar kena tapau, terbaik boss😊

Tidak lah! Dia ikut aje, tiada ruang untuk memotong kerana banyak kereta.

[@davk846]

Nice drive 👍👏👏. Don’t think there are many here in Msia can drive like that. Notice a squeaky sound throughout the video, what’s that ?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Could be the motor whine or something loose in my cera bags. We really need to tie stuff down.

[@rkwan67]

Waiting for model 3 highland LR drive

[@danielqsz8141]

Hello Great video and great driving ! You said that the range dropped 100 Km. How much was the real distance of that trip ? Thank you !

[@YSKhongDriving]

About 15 or 16 km only. Very normal to eat up the charge when you push it. We are definitely not cruising up nor down.

[@santisisma83]

6:47 when the drive 458 realized...shit is YS Khong...ok just stay at the back hahahaha

[@DLHS92]

That porsche try keep up but cant and just giveup😂😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

The Porsche is my friend; just following.

[@lagibizar]

Thanks for Sharing. So around 90plus KM of range used to go up. Wonder what was the range as you reached the bottom?

[@YSKhongDriving]

It regenerates so much you use only about a couple of percent to get back to PJ

[@richardstar88]

The yellow sport car trying to catch up but your instant powerful ev power make him difficult . Would like to know how much battery percentage drop in uphills driving like this ? always nice driving as usual👍

[@YSKhongDriving]

It drops around 30 percent on the mountain, and then it stays there until we get bacl down. The regen is good downhill.

[@KepalaSneaker]

this battery drop is almost same as Tesla Model 3

[@paidhunter]

even the ferari had to give up when its come to sifoo YS

[@YSKhongDriving]

Too many cars - he did the right thing - chill!

[@fliedlice88]

Left the Ferrari for dead. Good car and of course good driver!

[@alantan2710]

I see the Porsche trying to keep up with you. Would be nice if we can see EV car vs Performance ICE battle it out at Sepang !

Cannot afford the rental.

[@MWS1752]

Uncle YS. If you are given the choice to choose only 1, which will you go for? This or the tesla model 3 highland?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Have not driven the Tesla 3 Highland.

[@davk846]

@@YSKhongDriving Someone please offer Uncle Khong a test drive ! 😄

[@corneliustoh8966]

I test driven both brabus and model 3 highland standard range, guess what, the model 3 standard range NORMAL mode feels just like a brabus, imagine how would a long range version feels like

[@jeffrey2271]

Seems like uncle enjoyed the Seal more than this 😅 Two great EV sports car there

[@YSKhongDriving]

Absolutely

[@haroldlbc]

uncle really enjoy this car, the camera like playing computer game, really cool man!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Glad you liked it

[@ce3L2009]

Uncle Khong, How does it compared to IX50 you drove the other day ?

[@YSKhongDriving]

This is faster.

[@yagooatthegoat]

Ix50 is bigger.this is smaller than atto3

[@muhammadasyraf9878]

Uncle should on the brabus sound on..

[@YSKhongDriving]

Nah! Silence is golden

[@allanhengheng]

Advantage of 1.9 ton EV is always better than those with above 2.1 ton🎉

[@YSKhongDriving]

Lightweight is always better.

[@famsweeking8792]

Uncle Khong, the suspension seem very harsh. Harsher than Tesla ? Can even hear the tyre/suspension bing bing bong bong around uneven round. You were jumping around the seat.

[@YSKhongDriving]

It is firm, but not uncomfortable. The car rides a bit higher than normal though.

[@eddi6248]

Smart bratus, tesla model 3, byd otto 3/dolphin which better?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Three vert different vehicles. Dilphun is entrt level, most affordable. Tesla3 and Smart Brabus would be comparable to each other and are much faster. The Smart stands out for being more colourful and has more soul. The Tesla is good and steady. Pick according to your taste.

[@erwanabdulwahab367]

I wish i can convince my wife to get one😅

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, me three!

[@isyraffnoh1163]

Uncle, which one better smart brabus or the byd seal performance

We have yet to test the BYD Seal, so cannot give you any answer🙂

Why would he be?

Maybe Yeah ,he failed to overtake cause blocked by red mazda😂😂

[@h.cheongseow656]

where was the yellow porsche at the back, uncle khong? 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

He was right there, he was taking a chill drive, learning the car, staying away from stone chips.

[@sinleong1979]

Anyone knows where can rent? Can’t afford but if can rent, why not?

[@remylonewolf]

Fun, power, way cheaper than cars with the same horsepower, plus zero carbon emission. If rich, this is the car.

[@kataman4922]

⚓ 🇨🇵 \ 😀 / Excellent ! 🇨🇵 \ 😀 /⚓

[@MarkTheVicar]

Fast, fun....but is it engaging? Half the enjoyment I get from my car is the engine sound. Drivers of the future may never understand how visceral driving can be

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's a different kind of like. This type of like is when you can out- accelerate almost anybody in an EV like this one. However, I know exactly what you mean about the sound. This one has a set of simulated sounds, but I turned it off.

[@jonnyzee1590]

Wow... Supercar can't even close to u

[@rabbitcat5371]

better buy this if want to have fun..supercar buy drive slow just for showing u are rich 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

We were not racing - just chilling and enjoying our respective drives.

What's the price ?

Uncle YS can you drive Thomas New car

[@YSKhongDriving]

Need to ask.

[@macman6367]

Yellow car ...... LOL

[@robertyaaa]

Is it better than BMW M ?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Good question- from zero to 200 kmh, perhaps.

[@robertyaaa]

@@YSKhongDriving then for price/performance.... it is a good beginning for us the average people to afford performance car !

Tesla can start crying 😁

[@jimchokdeesal3057]

awesome power/torque ... too bad exterior design not nice

[@YSKhongDriving]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Some like it, some dont; it does have character, though.

[@dlee4837]

the speed fast until like the video play with FF 1.5x

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, you can do anything you like with it. We already sped it up 1.5.

[@ngekseng]

brakes abit small isnt it

[@YSKhongDriving]

They were quite okay - no issues. Tyres were too new, a little more running in requires.

[@alpacamix]

cant afford g wagon brabus, maybe this can price affordably

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, this is affordable power!

[@ow9196]

Fast but no soul…

[@donnyyong]

0 to 100kmh in 3.9 seconds haha 0 to 200kmh in ="never" Like all other EV cars, excessive centrifugal force in the electric motor at high speed will shred it to pieces unless the manufacturer utilise carbon fiber wrap to reinforce the motor (like divan / tesla). Nowadays, quoting 0 to 100 not really meaningful.

[@YSKhongDriving]

It didn't shred on us - just enhoy the drive bro! Ride the waves, enjoy the sun, forget the rain! Be positive!

[@rabbitcat5371]

those who currently own ev said, once u use ev, range is everything.

[@msuffian76]

Ferrari and Porsche can go home dy….

[@YSKhongDriving]

TBH the Porsche was not chasing us, and the Ferrari, I think there was no space for him to pass - too much traffic at that point, so like me, he also chilled. Safety is paramount.

[@xanthuschew8715]

i’m so proud to be an owner of smart cars 🥲 i want one of this too… looks cute and fun and nicely packaged in a rm250k car

Absolutely, Xanthus!
