Porsche finally accepts race with MINI, then kicks their ass
http://www.autointhenews.com/porsche-911-b...t-road-atlanta/
For weeks, Mini had tried to stage an interesting race between the Mini Cooper S and the Porsche 911 Carrera S. Unfortunately, despite Mini’s blatant antagonizing, Porsche North America initially declined the race, and at one point it seemed that Hyundai was about to take their place.
Luckily, Porsche did show up for the challenge at Road Atlanta. And, despite admirable efforts by the Cooper, it was the 911 that ultimately came out on top (surprise!).
See how the race went down below.
