Despite this, it's hard not to fall in love with the notion of a factory - built Mini that's so committed to speed — and Nürburgring lap times — that it jettisons the rear seats and runs coilover suspension.
The larger 21 / 2 - inch coilovers didn't fade from overheating on our high - speed runs, and the truck's new suspension easily absorbed the shock of the bone - jarring trail runs with safe and controllable handling.
