Hello and welcome !

Nice looking motor - excuse my ignorance but what does the 'RCR' bit mean ? Are the wheels original ?

Cheers, DD.

RCR stands for Roadster Coupe Rscing. This car built to commemorate a joint Smart and Brabus project where 10 cars were built worth £300,000 each. There are 50 of these road going ones mine being 10. Lol its the frist time someone has read the plate as kiss dick lmao

Was that not the ones with the V8 Hayabusa engine?

I thought the RCR's were a V6 twin turbo?

[dkidd85]

The original 10 had a v6 biturbo 170bhp. I don't think they were ever for sale to the general public. The engine in this is a 700cc 100 bhp may sound small but is quick.

The wheels are original.

Did it really take you six years and ten months to research that?
