Well ain’t that cute... A supercharged rear wheel-driven Mini Cooper tries to impress the public by doing a bit of a wheelie at the drag strip.
Laugh or not, but the little devil is stripped down for racing and packs quite a punch at the rear end. Unlike the original car, this beefed-up Mini has a Honda K20 swapped supercharged four-cylinder engine mounted just over the rear axle.

Looks like some serious work has been performed on the car, as it ditched unnecessary trims and panels, has a full roll cage, custom suspension and special built air intake on the side rear window for the engine to breath through.

Although it has lots of power compared to its size, especially in second gear when its front wheels are not touching the ground anymore, we find it very funny how he screams and “jumps” on the track. Have a look for yourself in the video bellow.
