Ford Mustang V8 v Hayabusa-powered Mini: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

Get ready for one of our weirdest drag races yet!

Mat’s rolled up to the start line in a Ford Mustang. It’s been lent to him by Clive Sutton, and its 5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 has been tuned to increase the power from 450hp to 490hp. It also produces 530Nm of torque and tips the scales at 1,730kg. As you would expect, it’s also rear-wheel-drive only.

Alongside him is another rear-wheel-drive car, but this is no ordinary car! It’s a classic Mini which has had its regular engine swapped with one from a Suzuki Hayabusa motorbike! As a result, this little Mini can produce 180hp & 150Nm! It’s super light as well, weighing in at just 500kg!

So what do you think will happen here - will the Mustang power to victory? Or will the super light Mini snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Imagine if Mr Bean drove that mini, the series would be even more fun 😂

This Hayabusa-powered Mini is absolutely insane and nuts! Thank you so much Mike for coming to this insane drag race with your insane Hayabusa-powered Mini!

This channel is SO GOOD at wrapping 90 seconds of content up in 4 minutes of commercial. (Yeah that's a back-handed compliment)

The power to weight ratio of the mini is impressive but it has the aerodynamics of a brick moving sideways

[adada.shov]

That Mini is a really Engineering Masterprice.The owner of that car is actually done really good job in that car

[AngryMonkeyza]

That mini is spinning in every gear, such a sick build!

[kikolegaspi]

That Mini-Hayabusa though... 😱
It's sounds very GOOD! 💯

[BuzzTec]

Mini pickup is crazy, it needs a turbo and bigger brakes!!

[elikajohnson]

The braking of the mini is like "Oh, I never knew you wanted me to stop"😂...

Brilliant video. I would love to know how that mini really drive, being so powerful and light.

Also, using a drone to get an aerial view of the drag race would be great!

[soundsheavenly]

Nice one as always. I'm waiting for a CarWow T-shirt that says "So then, what exactly happened?" 🤣

[shredder]

That would be literally awesome if you could bring Rowan Atkinson to race in Mini

[okithdesilva]

The way how the Mini launches is absolutely insane! It launches in the same way that the insane Suzuki Hayabusa launch! I love this Mini!

[wbgrafix]

Wanna see these two on a circuit and how they two perform on curves bends etc.

[shashvatlakhanpal]

Awesome line up. Would be fun if the Mini could do a wheelie too !!

[Yashuop]

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!

[examinerian]

That Mini is 👌 - the colour and Minilite alloys seal that deal! Obviously loud as the apocalypse inside, though, otherwise you'd have used radios to start the rolling races. Well done!

[curveball]

Thank goodness for the fast forward capability on these videos.

[ultraguy]

A carwow video shorter than 8 minutes? Now that's something I haven't seen in a long time.

Love your humor and your video content, I just about finished my bike engine Smart but have not tested it yet past part throttle 😁
That mini is freaking awesome!
