This is the world’s fastest MINI Cooper, a machine built by MINI USA and Fireball Tim Drag Racing. It isn’t just a wild claim though, it actually holds the actual official title for “World’s fastest MINI”. It’s body is made out of 100% carbon fibre, equipped with a John Cooper Works bodykit. The engine is twin-charged, resulting in a good 500 horsepower which is alot for the 772kg car. More photos after the jump.

Damn….why everything seems to be so cheap and accessible on the other side of the world? The technology and the tools are just a garage away. Unlike here in Malaysia….most thing come from chop shop and mix and match. Haizz….

I am not an auto geek; however, I like this car.
Is this another Italian job?

wahlaueh,
it uses bigger front wheel to prevent ’spinning wheel’ when speeding. This mini is really a fantastic piece work of art & tech.
