Insane, I wonder what it's like to drive. That will give the MR2 powered smart a run for it's money!

500 horses & 600kg would give OG some trouble too I think!

Looks to be a right handful when provoked, very impressive.

Went to test drive a 1991 mini with my nephew yesterday. It was fun but I haven't driven a car from that era for a good 15 years and I'd forgot how raw they are, no power steering, no servo brakes. That said it cornered like it was on rails and doing 30 felt like 60. It'd be fun for a day's blast but not to commute 30 mins each way every day in.
