The ultimate pan-Atlantic battle of 60s icons. Muscle versus manoeuvrability. Power versus precision. Brute force versus...bricks. Front versus rear.

Michael Caine versus Steve McQueen.

It’s the 2014 Australian Muscle Car Master - Mini Versus Mustang.

Surprisingly evenly matched.

Here is some Mini in-car footage from two years earlier.

Somewhat relatable. The Porsches look pissed in this video and this race looks more like a fight compared the Mini vs Mustang race.

Man, you can really see the difference. The Mustangs just pull away on the straights, but the Mini nails every single apex every time, while the ‘Stangs wallow about.

It’s power versus mettle, really: absolutely, it looks biased towards the Mustangs, but you can see how easy it would be for the Mustangs to screw up and let the Mini take the lead.
