Video: Mini responds to Porsche, still ready to competition
We’ll be honest – we were rather than vehement to see how the competition in between the Mini Cooper S as well as Porsche 911 Carrera S would go down. After Mini primarily challenged Porsche to the trackday showdown during Road Atlanta upon June 21, Porsche declined, saying which it will “hang to racing a approach we have over a decades,” as well as welcomed Mini to attend any authorised competition where “there is some-more during interest than t-shirts as well as valet parking spaces.”
Mini has had the really considerable reply to this plea, as well as isn’t giving up. Mini USA trainer Jim McDowell has released nonetheless an additional summary to Porsche Cars North America CEO Detlev Von Platen observant which they’re peaceful to lift a stakes, suggesting prizes such as Justin Bieber unison tickets (including backstage passes!), the lifetime membership to a Salami Of The Month bar or even the (slightly used home gym, between alternative things. Excellent.
We adore Mini’s unrestrained over this total eventuality, and as we assimilate, Mini is even drifting the ensign craft over Porsche’s Atlanta, Georgia domicile with a summary “Dear Porsche, Bring it. Love, Mini.” Seriously. You can keep up with a total back-and-forth upon Mini USA’s Facebook page. In any box, with usually a single week until a supposed competition day, we goal Porsche will saddle up for this duel, even yet Mini hasn’t specified what a Road Atlanta challenge(s) will be (it could be an egg-carrying competition for all we know) as well as Stuttgart unequivocally doesn’t crop up to have most to benefit by picking upon a small child. Top tip, Brett!
