If you remember the MINI vs Porsche challenge launched by Jim McDowell, head of MINI USA, almost two weeks ago, in which the two cars would compete at Road Atlanta, then these next videos show who gets to wear the looser t-shirt.
Even thought Porsche refused to participate in this challenge, MINI still went on with its plans and brought their own 911 Carrera S that got driven by Cory Friedman, and you’ll be able to see his interview in the video below the jump.
To cut things short, the MINI Cooper S got beaten by the Porsche 911 Carrera S by a full 2 seconds on a miniature track at Road Atlanta, so we don’t know if things went on as planned for Jim McDowell, who said that those 2 seconds represent a 76,000 USD price difference between the two cars.
Watch the video after the jump to see the Mini Cooper S get beaten by the Porsche 911 Carrera S in Road Atlanta race.

Good fun. The Porsche driver raced to win and did so.
Mini comes out looking good as well. Nice to see an ad campaign with a little bit of humor.
