This has been doing the rounds recently, what an aggressive looking mini. I wonder how much it weighs with all the weight saving additions that have been done.

I wonder how it performs on track. Still road legal I see.

It must be an absolute beast on track from looking at the work that's been done on it.

Dumb question of the day.

To me this looks like one of those Bike powered conversions, or alternatively a Honda V-tec rear wheel drive or something?

Ala this company, Z cars conversions http://www.zcarsuk.com/store/

AWESOME kits to achieve these kinds of conversions but the prices are NUTS!!

Video of a Z cars conversion on a mini minus, GSXR 1000 bike engine:

This one is still front wheel drive. Can't remember the specs, I read a little about it somewhere. It has a radiator in the boot though.

Ok, cool.

Just assumed that it was RWD with that massive down-force rear carbon splitter fitted Big Grin   guess that's just a very expensive decoration then....sheesh!

Splitter on the front with diffuser on the rear works really well with a front wheel drive as it keeps the nose down making it better to get your power to the ground.

Not to mention the Mini is fairly flat underneath as well, so the addition the front splitter and rear diffuser would only add to the downforce.
