Mini's faster than all the other cars!

I found this weird advert for the mini on the net, showing it on a 'race' course beating all these other cars! Can this be true?

Re: Mini's faster than all the other cars!

Says in the advert - it's the Mini Cooper S.

I don't find this data overwhelmingly surprising. The slalom is the Mini's strong-suit.

Re: Mini's faster than all the other cars!

I remember when the Mini was relesed years ago, the compared Mini to a porsche 911 GT2 and the Mini had the highest speed through the cones.

I knew that they (GPs) were all sold out before they were builded, puting the GP in this case next the Ferrari Enzo.

Yes, but I still think they used the fastest one of them all, the Cooper S JCW GP.
Anyways, I can take corners quicker in my Cooper S Works than in the 645, that's for sure
