- '21 Taycan Turbo, '05 MINI Cooper S
As a lowly Turbo owner (no "S" here, despite carwow erroneously printing that on the Taycan's column in this video's stat sheet at 2:18), I found this fun and satisfying to watch with captions. I'll have to try the audio later.
These cars have essentially very similar performance, as expected.
I definitely wouldn't get into a snit over it, just some silly fun.

As expected the RS E-Tron is going to be a tad slower than the Taycan Turbo.
That German engineered 2 speed transmission shows up on the rolling starts.
I would love to have seen a Turbo S in this race

Ok I am NOT being snarky but I expect the Taycan Turbo and GT RS to be the same. There is a * SLIGHT * weight differential due to the…ahem…driver between the two cars that may explain it.
