    Interesting videos and reads. So I think I understand, the only thing MINI on this Pike's Peak car is the skin? Right? All components are one of a kind, bespoke, custom, yada!

    Guess I will have to come down for fanfest too.

    Nothing about it is Mini but for the look alike body. It's a 900 hp V6 mid engine chassis. Used to be bodied as a Danica Duster in prior years. Very cool car.
