I know that I've posted some pic's of this mad Mini in the "No Ryhme..." thread before, but after I've found some more pic's of it, I thought I'd start a thread for it. I can find very little information about it, but I can see from the pictures that it has a Porsche 944 Turbo engine fitted.  It's called the Tachyon Mini Cooper, but that's just about all the info I can find on it. If any of you can find anything else about it please share. But, for now just enjoy the awesomeness of this customised Mini.

^^Great, but still no info or videos on their web page.^^   |

Utterly amazing.
I'm probably alone in wishing they'd slightly widened the body and slightly tucked the wheels so it didn't look like a mini body sat on a much wider chassis.... But that's just nitpicking.
VIDEO REQUIRED.

Perfect for a Morris Minor body that.

I have seen this before but never quite realised what it was. Just that it looks bonkers.
Being a mini and a 944 fan, I would much rather the engine in my Porsche!
