Mi-6 Had to tighten their belts as well. So Q came up with this for Bond.

[FourthBattalion]

What's ur mpg

[Thecarsall]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[refinden]

Why are you playing James Bond music? You leave him and his cars in the dust with this!

[jimmyjones001]

Its an old OH-58 A/C engine. I actually work on those right now for the military

[Jimster481]

wow wtf, is it a radial engine?

[skiamakhos]

@Jimster481 It's a gas turbine engine - essentially a jet engine, although the turbine here isn't using the exhaust gases for thrust like in a straight jet airplane - the turbo's central shaft is turning a gearbox & transmitting the power out that way, like a helicopter, which is where they sourced the Rolls Royce Allison engine from.

Thats my uncle in the GTR lol

[MathewBMW]

This is so funny! Imagine us seeing a Mini with a Jet sound in the streets?

[909chuck]

Shades of the turbine engined VW bug drag racer in the late '60s. Speed to burn!

[mrjagoff]

I would do that if I had the time

[LordLoveDoom]

waste of money...

[robertgadau]

hahahaha ..he smoked the GT-R lmao. Well Done !

[scrfce123]

@robertgadau He didn't smoke the GTR.... GTR ran a flat 7, whilst the Mini ran a 7.4. The respective trap speeds were 103 for GTR and 100 for the Cooper.

[robertgadau]

@scrfce123 Oh ...my bad :D, still a great time :)

[scrfce123]

@robertgadau You're not wrong there. That Mini is fast as hell.

[mattosoffice]

@scrfce123 and gtr use 400gallons less of fuel! :D

[minimaluhftv]

@scrfce123 no he didn't cause the turbine needs to spool up but yet in top speed he would. now imagine a 600hp electric motor instant torque!!!! :)

[aForkandaSpoon]

@minimaluhftv That would be fucking awesome, they use 200 hp electric motors for some serious electrics, 600 hundred would be awesome.

[ksatnod]

@robertgadau "helicopter turbo"

[kcjr54]

1) This is 1/8th mile. You can tell by the trap speeds (MPH). I think this MINI w/ Jet engine went something like 10.7 in the 1/4.

2) The MINI uses the stock engine configuration in the front; motor, tranney, FWD, etc. IN addition to that, it has a Corvette rear axle which is driven by the jet engine. Two completely separate systems acting in one vehicle.

[Ducatipro695]

how far is it?

[MrBartvos]

This isn't a quarter mile is it? Cause 7 seconds for a standard GT-R is damn fast!

[scrfce123]

@MrBartvos Its 1/8th mile.

[zoly16]

wow awesome but it seems the front wheels didn`t actually distribute the power to the road like the back does...i know in the back there`s much more weight than in the front....but i don`t really understand how the transmission is made...and it has actually both of the engines..the original + the chopper engine?

[TheRussian1011]

Pretty cool, so the helicopter engine is actually driving the rear wheels? I only mostly see jet-engine cars that actually use the thrust ... plus this is 8th of a mile right? What does it do in the 1/4?

[Himanyan72]

なーんじゃ、こりゃ！ぎゃははははははははは！！

[tbr4443]
