Dunno if this is old news, sorry if it is, but I thought others would like to see a truly kickass Mini...M3-powered bizatch!!!!

M3 Powertrain!


Ooh, an M3-GTR front end!


Damn, this is one mean, wide Mini!

 

I'm pretty sure that is putting down over 400hp to the rear wheels!!!
I think I'll take one too.....!!!

While you're taking orders, sign me up too!

 

Very awesome indeed. :smile:

What do you think the weight distribution is? Fairly heavy in the front I assume.

Also I wonder if they put a stronger sub-frame in the rear to handle all that power. Surely the stock Mini's can't handle it.

 

Is that an inline 6? Hey, they didn't show THAT option to me at the MINI dealer! Truly an impressive car. Who did all that work?

From what I've read they've only been in a few races.
They are still trying to work the bugs out.
Not real sure about other mods but Wow! that engine is NICE!

By-the-way.... bhcvc, Thanks for posting these pics.

Edit..... I'm pretty sure it's a modded version of the inline 6 from a M3.
The work was done by QVICK Motors..... I think that is how you spell it.

Thanks Paul!...great stuff!

 

It's hard to believe but this minimonster is build by a belgium racing team last year!
They decided to build this and not race for one season last year. The result of it is paying of if you ask me. No sorry guy's it's not a factory chilly pack, wish it was for the couple extra bucks. They test drove the stander cooper but found it a bit slow under 3500 rpm so they solved their problem quite well.

...yeah ill take one too! totally bada$$...but I want mine to look like a stock S.. ÿeah this just a plain ol' S....Peace out!"

 

I got a site from the dutch mini list where I found out that this m3 mini qualified 30th on Spa fracorchamps in belguim today out of 45 monster cars. BMW,PORSCHE,ect ect ect. so for a first time on the track between the big boy's it's not bad!undefined

 

Hey maybe we can talk those guys into coming to Birmingham, AL for a site exclusive interview and test drive.....
Anyone have any contacts?
