Meet the fastest and sportiest road-registered MINI ever made and there’ll only be 200 of them made, only a few coming to SA. Replaces the awesome one we saw first in 2006.

BMW have pulled in some motorsporting expertise to add some flair to this mental little hatch. Exclusive powertrain, chassis and aerodynamics technology included.

Not bad looking either. Large front and rear aprons and a bespoke roof spoiler. Newly developed rear diffuser that optimises airflow around the underbody.

If you ever do get lucky and see the lesser-spotted “GP” tag on a Mini, you’re staring at a badge that means “Goes Poesfast” in German. 8 min, 23 seconds round the Nurbirgring fast.

Get it in 2013 for an obscene amount of money.
