A Mini John Cooper Works model has been turned into the fastest Mini around, according to German tuner AC Schnitzer who has produced this “Eagle” Mini tuning job. The model apparently can lap the Hockenheim Circuit in 1:13.341 minutes - faster than bigger and traditionally more powerful models like the BMW M3 and Porsche 911 Turbo.

The tuner has modified the 1.6-litre turbo engine to produce 256 hp, a new exhaust system is used and weight has been reduced. Other features including racing suspension and dedicate 18-inch alloy wheels. The cost of the Eagle is apparently about €62,000 but AC Schnitzer calls it a concept car which is not for sale.
