78 liters of displacement, 18 cylinders, 12 turbocharges and a tame 3,500 hp and 10,300 lb-ft of torque make for one mean Mini. Well, it would if it actually worked.

Wow, Mini was able to bring a compact diesel pickup stateside before Mahindra! Hopefully they'll challenge Mahindra to a tractor pull or something...
Hey Porsche, NOW let's race!
10,300 lb-ft of torque is all fine and dandy, but if you have to rev the engine up to 1,600 rpm what's the point?
Bet that Mini is hard on tires...
