25. 2017 MINI Cooper S 210

In terms of price the Cooper S Works 210 was pitched below the earlier Challenge 210 although on paper delivered similar

figures.

Like the Challenge, it featured a Bluetooth controller allowing you to switch the exhaust system to a race mode for a real

roar although this would exceed noise limits for road use.




26. 2017 MINI Cooper Seven

Once again evoking the old Seven name from the early Austin Mini days, the MINI Cooper Seven offered a number of exterior

and interior options exclusive to this edition although this and the ‘Seven’ badging offered largely cosmetic changes.




27. 2018 MINI Hatch 1499 GT

Only 1,499 of these were built, hence the name. The GT part of the name evokes the 1969 1275 GT which had a 1,275cc engine

and was sporty replacement for the much more sporty Cooper.

The 1499 GT gets a John Cooper Work body but a 1.5l engine that delivers a punch but, appropriately, not such a big punch.
