It sounds awful. Try listening to BMW's Hans Zimmer sounds... those are actually great, and not a bad attempt at emulating an ICE via the speakers.
@johnnypovdrives 6 ай бұрын
@@thearousedeunuch I have to disagree. In this case the emulated engine sound is so well mapped to the throttle and speed, it really adds to the driving experience. Whether these sound packs should be synthetic futuristic sound scapes or nostalgic ICE age sounds, is another discussion. I hope the future will give us an option to choose between both! :)

@@johnnypovdrives given that it is desirable, as well as probable, that two cars with the same peak power and the same weight have the same performance, it seems likely to me that this is a branding move to strengthen the distinction of a fictitious alternative to excessive characterization of the Brabus model. so your test with the related impressions would have shed light. Maybe you can use one of those modern systems to measure acceleration data too!

1:28 When I took delivery of a BMW last year, the guy that handed it over to me said that you should never ever press on the hood when it´s half-closed like in this case. That can bend and damage the flexible hood. Instead, you´re supposed to unlatch the hood again and let it fall or slam it, they are designed to do that and they will survive that. Not trying to be annoying, just something that I´ve just learned recently, video is great anyway :D

It is worth noting the special 22KW home charging that is so fast that I don't need to look for charging stations from home.

Hi Johnny. Nice video. I am thinking about getting the Smart #3 brabus. But the engine, board computer and battery are the same as this Smart #1 (I assume). I test drove the #3 brabus and I absolutely loved it. Yet, I am wondering if the navigation system works as good as on other EVs (where to charge etc.) and if the acceleration is decreasing over the battery percentage. This last item is because I saw a video of a Volvo EX30 where it was quite clear that its acceleration (0-100 time) is strongly dependent on its battery percentage. I only had 1h of test drive, so this was something I was not able to try. Perhaps you know? And what are your thoughts on the (relatively) smaller battery, considering you already drove many other EVs. What is reasonable or not? Thanks in advance. Keep it up with the videos. Cheers!

Didn’t like it that much on my very short one hour test drive. Felt slightly disconnected because of throttle response and couldn’t get a regen configuration that didn’t make me feel slightly car sick. Didn’t have engine sounds when I test drove(mid last year). Maybe I missed it or it’s a software patch? Looks way better when you’re driving it!
