@Sorin

Mate, I lived up in the Northern Territory from 1987 – 2005 and for ALL those years there was NO speed limit once out of a township e.g. 1 or 2km’s.

I regularly drove from Darwin to Alice Springs (1,550km each way) for work with Valvoline (company rocket car) and the best time I did it in was 10.75 hours!!!
(I actually overtook a police car on the Stuart Highway @ 160, no joke it was legal and felt bloody great)

Set the cruise control on 180km/h, air con @ 21.5 and your halfway across Australia, those where the days. I now live in WA (Perth) which is bigger but only allows you to do 110km/h, it should be 130 at least on remote roads e.g. Nullabor or Great Eastern Highways.

The Mini isn’t a slouch, with the Works engine in, but I’m not sure it could keep up with any of the others in that pack.. Not sure it deserves a place there. But that is a gorgeous line up.

why shouldnt the lexus isf be there it is one of the most sort after supercars currently around! it eats the rs4 audi and would do the same to most cars (except the nissan) in this group! maybe the mini is a pace car!

Crouchy & Top Dog – you could say the same about the Lexus being there as well ISF or not. Thats even more of a yawn than the RS4 whcih isn;t exactly yawn. One of the nicest sounding car on the planet.

I’m guessing there are a few people responding here that have never driven a MINI, haha.

They should have replaced the MINI with a Ferrari or a Lambo.
