The sporty Mini goes back five decades, when Britain won the Monte Carlo rally for the first time in 1964. The Mini John Cooper Works is the latest addition to their lineup and it’s got plenty of sporty credentials. Its 170-kilowatt output does the sprint from 0 to 100 kph in just 6.1 seconds. It will keep going after that - all the way to 246 kph, which is its electronically-capped top speed.
