This Mini is very special. It was the development car for Mulgari and helped produce the ICON2 series of Minis. It started life as a used JCW F56 Mini and had £49,000 spent on it develping the engine, chassis, handling and interior. It finished up being wrapped in an incredible design to look like a World War 2 Polish Spitfire and became known as The Warbird !

I test drove this car a few years ago (2017), I was in the process of ordering one - my car would've been 006. I've had the opportunity to drive lots of cars in my life but this thing was insane, such a unique experience and so fun! Unfortunately, I never went ahead with the car as it was just a bit too much money at the time. But here I am, all these years later, owner of a Cayman GTS, yet watching a video on the Mulgari... just shows the impression this car left on me! Great video!

It’s definitely on my top 5 want list 👍

@garymason7 3 года назад

What a beast! I would have kept that War Bird wrap for sure 😁 I agree with what you were saying about people not “getting” Mini. It’s still got a wheel in each corner with minimal overhang which is why it handles so well. Whenever I ask boring detractors online if they’ve actually driven one I never get a response...

Amazing car!! I’ve got a F56 cooper S stage 1 tuned to 285hp and 440nm it’s a handful to drive but I absolutely love it, it’s also crazily fast!! Rolling races I beat S3, Golf R’s etc etc with proof. I agree people who don’t rate minis have never ever driven a mini!! I hated minis until I drove one now I’ve had 2 and I can’t see me getting any other car other than a mini for years to come!!

@user-qq2mo1ek2r 3 года назад

I was introduced to the modern Mini by my wife, she's had 4 coopers and I have to say while she's now in an Evoque, we both miss the mini. Great fun, decent quality, great dynamics, comfortable even for me at 6'4" and big build. My wife 5'1" and size 6-8. I think when the Evoque goes back, she will revert to Mini but I hope to get her into a slightly warmer version. We didn't see the Pete facial expressions we have seen in other cars but maybe that's because you know Mini's..... Great reviews and content as always.

@martinwhitefield1799 3 года назад

Going with John below I love WWII warbirds and I guess the motif here is the Curtiss Kittyhawk. Not sure on this one though but only on the teeth at the front. I totally love the colour and with the performance, a clean front end would make it the ultimate stealth mini. However, my comment is just me and totally subjective. Total power to the owner👍 once again, super content.

@TheBaldMiddleAgedMetalHead Год назад

As someone who has come from a slew of performance rwd cars Mercedes, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Porsche.. I decided to dip my toe into the world of Mini's based on a recommendation from a friend whose opinion I respect. I can't see myself going back, I've got a F56 Cooper S and it's just an absolute riot and the running costs are low, the after market is enormous. I got an absolute slaughtering from friends on Facebook (not that I care) when I bought the Mini and have any of them driven one? Nope.

Peter you are very excitable about Mini`s but we get it, they are a different breed to the mini`s of yore. However, dare I mention the Monte Carlo rallies of the past and Paddy Hopkirk, they at the time were unbeatable until 4 wheel drives appeared. It says a lot for Mulgari to develop a class of Mini and spend such a lot on research and development but you now have an exciting set of cars for the future until electric rears its head!!!

Hi. Been a fan of your channel for a while now. I have a F56 JCW and are planning what mods should i put in. I am curious on how the engine responses differ between stocked 306hp in your JCW and GP3 vs tuned F56 JCW with similar horse power. Would love to hear you compare/contrast on this two. Thank you.

@PetrolPed 3 года назад

The thing that makes a direct comparison difficult is one is manual and the other auto and one is FWD the other AWD. They are both tuned up 2 lites. The ICON felt a bit more aggressive. Would love to put them in a head to head 👍

Does this car have an OEM BMW LSD? Or does it use some sort of electronic braking to control torque steer? I was surprised to hear you say that it corners under power better than Ruby if it exhibits as much torque steer as you experienced under straight line acceleration. (I could see you fighting the steering wheel as you laid into the throttle.)

@PetrolPed 3 года назад

The way this car corners with a standard diff is pure witchcraft 🤷‍♂️

@simonupex2628 3 года назад
