In the end the Mini vs Porsche challenge finally took place and naturally the Mini S got her small trunk kicked by the Porsche 911.
The mini (excuse the pun) circuit that Mini created at Road Atlanta was designed to enhance Mini’s handling and minimize the German supercar power, but it didn’t exactly pan out the way Mini wanted, infact they got beat by two seconds and you know that in any type of racing getting beat by two seconds is a life time.
Mini commented the two seconds difference with each second worth $38,000 but with all the hype surrounding this challenge, Mini certainly got their return in pubblicity.
