The MINI Rocky IV video from Funny or Die would make Rocky himself proud. This video features the MINI cooper training to “fight” against the Porsche 911.
MINI USA recently issued a challenge to Porsche to race against their 911. Porsche naturally declined, which sent MINI USA back on the attack. The MINI Rocky IV video is just another attempt to get the Porsche to race. Who knows if it will work, but it is still hilarious to watch. Check out the video to see the MINI put through its paces. Go MINI USA!
