ABF Mini - How much horsepower can a FWD take?

In the world of 700hp wagons and 1000hp supercars, we must say we weren't expecting, yet weren't surprised by this, a creation between ABF and Mini, this is the world's fastest Mini, using the existing 1.6 liter block, they fitted a HUGE Garrett turbocharger to produce a mind boggling 650hp, and yet it only drives the front wheels, they claimed a Motec computer was able to keep things running 'smoothly' for the 650hp going through the front wheels, that must be one hell of a computer being able to defy physics we say, even the 650hp W12 monster Golf weren't able to let loose of it's grunt on four wheels.

Hit the jump for the engine bay, you want one? We don't.

Mate, the VW Golf GTI W12 650 Concept was rear wheel drive, not 4 wheel drive.
