Mini USA provided FTR with a carbon-fiber bodied, 1700 lb Mini Cooper S with the John Cooper Works kit and a supply of parts and accessories to create the 500 horsepower, twin-charged drag monster.
At the Hot Import Nights in Phoenix, Arizona this fall, the extreme Mini beat 300 competitors to win the "Best Engineered" award with its polished under-hood hardware and eye-catching graphics.
