>Indeed, Paddy and his pals would have given their eye teeth for the latest manifestation of the Cooper mystique. Developing an extraordinary 136 bhp per litre, the supercharged MINI GP is the most powerful production MINI (or Mini) ever built.

And that is enough, says BMW, to outperform the MINI CHALLENGE track car, from which the GP is derived.

Agreed, but if you go to the home paage there’s a great review on the all-new MINI.
