When it comes to drag racers, most enthusiasts don’t think front-wheel drive, and even if they do, they certainly don’t think Mini Cooper S. But the tuners at ABF Performance didn’t let that stop them from taking the car to some truly extreme performance levels. With a 10.48 second quarter-mile time, the ABF Mini Cooper S is officially the fastest Mini in the world.

It does it with little more than an extreme diet, slick tires and a massive turbocharger and intercooler kit. Rated at 650hp (486kW) and running trap speeds of 135.16mph (216km/h) in the quarter-mile with its 10.48 ET, the car weighs in at just 1,750lb (795kg) and puts on a killer show, as the video below demonstrates.
