Video: R56 S mountain carving...

This vid is from EVO, which is IMHO, the worlds best car enthusiast magazine. Also, hate to say it, but the Renault sounds tons more intoxicating that the MCS. Enjoy!!!

Cool video. The final shots of the Cooper S with the reflection of the road in the side of the car is nice! I can definitely hear the deep growl in the Cooper S shots that were reportedly the sound of the engine on the preview websites.

Unfortunatly the music is too interfering to get a clear sense of how the engine will sound suppose I'll just have to continue to reserve comment.

Is there a review that accompanies the video? It is titled "MINI Cooper S and Clio Renaultsport 197 in a head-to-head" but I don't see what conclusions one can make.

Would have been a lot better video without the obnoxious music. I've notice the unnecessary music soundtrack is included in darn near everything.

Was it just me or did the Clio look like it was going faster thru the turns?
