    I wonder does the near 11,000ft/lbs of torque overcome the 11tons engine weight to get a decent 0-60? :)

    No matter how you slice it, the fact that Cummins mounted one in the back of an original Austin Mini is quite something, even if it isn't actually hooked up. So for now, this is a static display only.

    :( Disapointing - but understandable.

    I'd say the torque would spin that Mini like a drill bit.

    I knew a lad that dropped one of those lumps into a Glanza. Rapid it was.

    I'd be more impressed if they'd fitted in under the bonnet...
