Best of SEMA: Mini With Hemi Power
SEMA is all about the ridiculous, and it’s hard to picture anything more ridiculous than this Mopar-powered Mini. Dubbed the “Maxi Cooper,” you don’t have to care anything about cars to get a kick out of this taxi-themed monster, and that’s kind of the point.
The 5.7L Hemi has been stroked 6.4L, and the BDS blower is running at a relatively conservative five pounds of boost. Together, they’re good for a whopping 650 horsepower, which is a healthy 470 horsepower boost from stock.
The thing that’s most incredible is that it passes Smog in California. Just kidding. Vegas is the closest this baby is allowed to the Golden State. Viva SEMA!
