The new John Cooper Works MINI has just gone on sale in the UK. Priced at £20,995 on the road, this 211bhp ‘pocket rocket’ delivers 260 Nm of torque (280 Nm on Overboost) which is the highest peak torque figure of any production MINI. From a standing start, the car will hit 62mph inside of 6.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 148mph. However, the extensive performance tuning means the car can deliver a combined fuel consumption of 40.9 miles per gallon.
