EPIC Civic Type R VTEC powered RWD Mini from ZCars *300hp/tonne & 9000 RPM Redline*

I love a hot Mini and have driven quite a few BUT nothing prepared me for this car. Stunningly presented, very lightweight and loads of power !
At the rear of this car you will find the engine from a Honda Civic Type R, perhaps one of the best engines ever made. With VTEC and a 9000 rpm redline the engine produces 215hp in a car the weights only 750kg !
This car was built and prepared by ZCars. These guys do very special things to Minis and others in what they call Classics Reimagined. I hope to do ore with them in the future. For more info head over the their website...

@Conor Mcdonald oh don’t be such a fuddy duddy kill joy🤪

[@danvasse8075]

is that what you get out of this? go to the barbie channel!!!

[@goshu9718]

Thats the beauty people dont umderstand. Cars are made to make u smile. There is no point in driving something if u r not smiling

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

I know he's having so much fun! Whee!🏎🤣👍

[@dangreasley7934]

This is exactly the type of content I want to see more of. Brilliant!!! It's just fantastic to see people passionate about pushing the boundaries and bringing new tech to old cars. :)

[@PetrolPed]

Judging from the reaction it’s getting I plan to do more that for sure 👍

[@JezVibert]

Fabulous car, and what a nice bloke that owns it. I love that it’s discreet and he’s not showing off by covering it in wings, huge vents and painting it pearlescent orange

[@superchargedpetrolhead]

now, i want a classic mini in my life...

[@Bruce4103]

I bought one as my first car, it is still now the most fun car I've ever driven, it's like a go kart. But get ready to spend 3 times the money you think you will need to spend, it's a money pit. Still the best car I've ever owned

[@jimmy6754]

Bomb shell💨

[@CarsWithSam24]

This is going to hopefully be my first car and it’s a beautiful car to be honest.

[@interjb]

This one, maybe?

[@MrFahadaziz1980]

I have always wanted one.

[@brownsworthy7323]

Absolutely Brilliant! I love projects like this that give new life to old classics.

[@monteceitomoocher]

That engine sure sounds mean!, lovely job.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@natjzam]

the engine sounds amazing. that thing seems properly fast. The owner's collection is straight up my alley 😄

[@noahman27]

The whine of the engine, The Crackle and Pop of the Exhaust. Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

yes certainly is one of the coolest classic mini's, wicked, thanks Dave and Pete

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it mate. The reason I do KZbin 👍

[@jimpryor9018]

What a fantastic mini, never ceases to amaze me the engineering ability of people to marry all the parts together. Great video again, thank you 😁

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure Jim 👍

[@hassankajogoo3226]

This is an epic car. Little or not. The aesthetics meet the beast performance to create a not so tiny monster. Great content, great car.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

Love how Mini's make 13" Wheels look massive!

[@markrobinson8575]

[@russelldeakin6453]

One of the best car designs ever with one of the best NA Honda Vtec engine”s, can’t fail really! Shows where we’re going wrong with certain ideas in the modern era too imo. Ideal B-road car for me and I’m taller than you. Great viewing PP.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

[@martyn_g]

The modern era is dictated to by a few things- safety standards, and cost sharing.

[@G.Bfit.93]

For real. Newer cars are super heavy, big, low rev, turboed unreliable garbage. It's not hard to make a good car like this.

[@masonstorm1834]

Thanks love the Mini and performance and feedback must be amazing, also love the paint choice looks really cool with the arches and wide tyres

[@ron25wall]

Fabulous car and a wonderful noise, what they have done to this car is absolutely outstanding. Cant wait to see the other cars of Daves.

[@cmcdeevtec]

Beautiful machine bud sounds epic 😈👌🏻, really enjoyed the video , being a big Honda enthusiast always nice to see the k series in different machines .. just about see the k series in most things now . Says a lot really. Cheers for the content mate .

[@timmartin7468]

Classic, with a twist! Can't wait to watch this.

[@davehayes3863]

Another great car combo of classic and amazing performance, love the variety of cars you share with us.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Dave. That’s the plan 👍

[@smurph1962]

Watched it again , amazed how it’s stays on the road , brilliant piece of work from Zcars . Every petrol head should have one 👍

[@PetrolPed]

[@kevonjobson361]

Excellent sleeper, wonderful classic brought back to life, love to own something just like that 👍🏿👊🏿

[@rubencaixeiro9762]

I love classic minis since I was a child and my father had one... Just the looks, even without the silly engine. Love it.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@timbowoody]

Great video! What a superb car. I love the way he’s kept it classic looking but made it into an animal. Even down to the modern grey paintwork. Look forward to seeing his next project 😀

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Tim 👍

[@jonlovell8241]

Wow weeeeee!! That's Dat sound right thurr boy!! The sound of variable valve timing and life electronic control, aka VTEC.

[@philipwalsh3012]

Absolutely amazing well done fella

[@leeratcliff8670]

Great job of a classic, the wife and I are now on our third mini and love them.

[@PetrolPed]

Cars cars aren’t they 👍

[@petergalbraith3422]

Love it! That is so cool! Classic minis are such good platforms as they are from factory, and this one has just been taken to the next level! I want one :)

[@PetrolPed]

I want one too 😂

[@tanzeelrehman7270]

Am speechless dude, it's bloody awesome.

[@mokoloaneaphane6562]

Absolutely cool. I am a sucker for classic minis but this is on another level. Definitely considering getting one. Great channel. . .south out from South Africa

[@PetrolPed]

I love SA 🇿🇦

[@simonmurfin1910]

Absolutely brilliant. My first car was a mini and I thought that was great. This must be something else. I’d love to hear more about the build and engineering and the other cars in Daves collection.

[@PetrolPed]

I hope to actually go to ZCars and do a film there 👍

[@lorrainebeckett281]

Wow what a beautiful Mini, can’t believe the speed she went. Must have been amazing. I found photos of my very first classic Mini (F Reg 1988) at the weekend and so wish I could have kept her but I do love my modern Mini it’s still such fun to drive.

[@patrickflanagan8008]

A mega, mega mini. My boyhood dreams come true....brilliant.

[@adamzed7023]

LOVE the understated grey/black. Fantastic car ! I would love to see move videos of that thing ripping around, on a track. Congrats to the architect of that beast. Cheers !

[@bloodstockvip2176]

Love this, what a car and sound from the outside too 😮

[@stevesanouk3475]

This tell you anything is possible. I'm really digging the paint job. Awesome!

[@LuckyLe7]

It's absolutely amazing. So beautiful and powerful tiny car. I love it so so much.

[@richardcarter1000]

Amazing. I still have a couple of Mk1 Minis. I want one of those.

[@NOmadishe]

It is so beautiful aesthetically and in the engineering sense

[@nagesh1564]

Garbage car ground clearance is zero car

[@bobtomb4419]

Absolutely love this channel! You do a FANTASTIC job! I recently bought a near mint 1968 Morris Mini with a 998. Now I must start saving for a Honda Vtec conversion! Too cool!!

[@PetrolPed]

Great to hear you are liking my vids 🙏🏻

[@danielito5813]

This is more than epic, great vid!

[@adipurnama_workshop]

beautiful, also love the simple interior

[@Think_about_it777]

What an absolute pocket rocket. This mini is a work of art. 👍

[@davisonnyatinyirenda4626]

Very nice car. The shape, wheels, body accessories, the exhaust sound, the colours etc, the list is endless. I love it. Thanks for the video. Keep it up. 💯

[@brettb1996]

That is bad ass , love it , I need one of those !

Thanks Simon 👍

[@darrenbarrett5869]

Cracking car, cannot wait to see his other cars. Really enjoying your channel Pete. 🤗

[@PetrolPed]

He has some proper interesting cars 👌

[@LesroyBuckley]

I've always wanted a mini.... after watching this I NEED one!

[@MrSalmanBadshah]

Yes it looks absolutely Stunning ⭐️

[@Billydevito]

Mad on a track, crazy on the road ! Absolutely insane in the wet !! The mini handles like a go-kart but is tricky at the limit. With the engine in the rear, I’m guessing it’ll be like a classic 911. Understeer, then massive oversteer. It’ll hang on until it doesn’t, then, because of the short wheelbase, come around very suddenly and quickly. Thrilling to be sure, but not for the average driver. Reminds me of the Giocattolo in the 80s. A mid-mounted 5ltr V8 in a front engined V6 Alfa Romeo Coupé. Sweet!

[@scottloder7976]

I had a Alfa 1750 GTV when I was in my 20s that handled like that. like you were on rails, but if you pushed it too far would let go the rear very quickly. Great car I wish I hadn't sold it they are worth a small fortune now.

[@SennaF1]

Absolutely brilliant!!! The fun you could have with that mini at traffic lights!! Can’t wait to see the Fiat 500, outrageously brilliant!!!

[@PetrolPed]

I can’t wait either 😬😂

[@infowazz]

Now that is a dream ride. Every detail is perfect.

[@daniellynn3240]

The most beautiful machine I have ever seen. I would love to own that

[@benhigginson9763]

Evening all. Looking forward to this. Love old minis 👋

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Ben 🙋‍♂️

[@dominicflanagan6416]

Absolutely epic. Had an 850 mini 40 years ago souped with twin carbs and 215 tyres. Want want one again. Only thing is the wide tyres for a light car didn't have good grip on the wet, l spun off a few times, went back to 165 tyres for better grip. Look at Monte Carlo rally minis, all had narrow tyres for grip. Aside, congratulations on building this fantastic mini.

[@iRidetas]

i just found what i want to do with my life. Geezuz what a car.Thank you! Great

[@jamesbrewer226]

What a mega mini, it’s what dreams are made for 👍👍👍👍👍🙏

Cheers 👍

[@oddyseus99]

Just wow. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and goes amazing. In short....amazing!

[@patgaskin2150]

Absolutely amazing loved it great colour, but I'm old, the engine should be in the front. That's all about a mini. 🤔

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@matthewstyer5587]

Fantastic bit of engineering Love it!!’

I love mini and love sound of vtec engine... Nice video... Keep it up boss...

Amazing classic Mini, you forget how small they really are, that must have been pretty scary driving around in the wet conditions . What an amazing car well done that man 😀😀

These mini conversions are great and there are so many engine swaps possible. One of the cars that used to show up locally had a turbo'd 1.6 CVH with nitrous that was heading towards 300 horsies. Thing was ridiculous, but that's kinda the point I guess.
