Mini Working On Even SMALLER John Cooper Works Model

Meet the tiny MINI that packs a mighty punch! Following our scoop in Issue 1,126 that revealed a new smaller MINI is in the pipeline, insiders have hinted that a hot John Cooper Works model will also make production.

The design is familiar to fans of the MINI range, but there’s a few crucial changes. The as yet unnamed car has shrunk to just over three metres long, although there should still be space for four inside, along with a decent boot.

Efficiency is key, even for this sporty version, and the newcomer will make use of a new 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder engine turbocharged engine currently being developed by BMW.

Wow, a Micro Mini. I like it. I think it will be well received. With a comparable price tag, 50MPG and room for 4 why would anyone ever buy a Smart car? Obviously I'm not a fan of Smart.

veyron that troll attempt was pretty poor, even for you.

I like the idea of this car. Mini needs to stay compact only, this car will help center the brand.

Its now a troll attempt. I never said I disliked the car. What makes you think 4 people can fit in a car with the cabin space of a VW beetle?

Those are 50 mpg (imp) in the US, it should be more into the 40mpg. For this kind of consumption, I hope that the performance will be there!

Okay but how f*cking "Mini" can you go? A Mini-er Mini still seating 4? This package may end up like that of the most recent SC by Lexus with the un-useable back seat that was sitting at a 90 degree angle and the seat cushion bottoms touching the back of the front seats.

Mini should do a fun 2 seater next. I approve.
