They paid that guy to upgrade them and give them more horses and new suspension...i doubt they had 60 hp, AND they were new mini's so stock hp woudn't be 60 anyway you little kid

I'm sure the Coopers in the Italian Job don't just have 65 hp. They have a JCW ( John Cooper Works ) bolt-on for the Mini Cooper S. They put a new supercharger on the car for added horsepower. It's 200 bhp @6950 rpm, 177 lb-ft of torque @ 4000 rpm. 0-60 in 6.6 sec, top speed (drag limited) of 135. So there you go, that's probably what they were.

I love Mini's. If I do well enough in life I will have one with the Better supercharger option.

In the original, all they did was add a Sumpgaurd! I love both of those movies!!!
