The first concept car based on a MINI was the AC Schnitzer EAGLE in 2011. After optimising all aspects of the JCW in terms of ‘Efficient Performance’: power had been increased to 191 kW/260 HP, the weight reduced by 80 kg, the exhaust system upgraded, our coilover suspension fitted and the EAGLE fitted with 18-inch Mi2 wheels, it catapulted itself straight into the sports car class with a lap time of 1:12.3 minutes at Hockenheim. This made the AC Schnitzer EAGLE the fastest MINI at Hockenheim. Want to know more? Click here: https://ow.ly/Bbkt50ZVS5T
