Yeah, looks like a fantastic car. One might scoff that its now RWD, but what the heck, once they started dropping VTECs into classic MINIs the rules kinda got thrown out anyway. I think its awesome!!!

badass in a way, but it really isn't a true mini. I would be interested if it used the original engine and fwd... Or perhaps a rear-engine turbo-v6 (a'la Clio)???
