240mph? In a MINI?

I'll believe it when I see it.

[MartinSSZ]

240kph?

[mikeythemini]

Its a bugatti mini

[JAMIE1131]

Must be 240KPH, ie 150MPH!

[coopersooper]

tis what i thought, must be 240kph, but the engineer defiantly said mph, i asked him again, kept repeating myself and he said 100% mph, so you guys will just have to find out, don't think its possible but would be amazing if it is! The car is something else a new gear box has been made for it as the old/now cooper s gearbox would be ripped to shreds, this one is toughened and strengthened. there will not be an automatic version as it just would be possible as the car would wreck the gearbox in 5th and well what more can I say the car is awesome!

[MartinSSZ]

Not going to let on which track it was then?

[coopersooper]

Martin it entered the production track! none will be seen on the road for at least two months till i get hold of one! wow watch out M1 London to Newcastle in an hour! woooooosh

If you show me a MINI that hits 240mph (and dropping one out of a Hercules from 20,000ft doens't count), I shall eat my hat.

Admittedly, my hat is made from chocolate and marshmallows, so it's win win for me.

[Lolance]

I'll eat my pants. and unluckily for me, mine aren't made out of chocolate and marshmallows!!

[ONED]

.....just chocolate coated !

So how many horsepower does this 240MPH MINI Veyron have?
