Performance MINI June/July 2021

WELCOME TO THE JUNE - JULY 2021 ISSUE It barely seems like yesterday that the newspapers were full of the fuss surrounding BMW’s decision to sell Rover, and what that would mean for the yet-to-be-released MINI, but can you believe that was 20 years ago?

Something like an electrified full-fat John Cooper Works version, perhaps? Well, that’s exactly what MINI have launched with the new MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW (MINI does love to give its performance models unnecessarily long titles, remember the MINI Cooper S with the John Cooper Works GP Tuning Kit?)
