Those cute, fast little cars from The Italian Job just got faster. The world's fastest Mini has hit Canada, and it's fantastic. No longer the exclusive domain of ex-pat Brits, nostalgic boomers and women, Mini's high performance John Cooper Works division has brought their speedy little GP to Canada. This model that we're about to finally get our hands on is the second generation of the GP, and is both the sportiest and the fastest production model that Mini has ever produced. This limited edition road car, was built on racetrack-developed technology. It's distinctive look is a clear identifier of the JCW brand- this isn't any ordinary Mini. While still cute, it boasts an aggressive looking front and rear, a powerful sports braking system and a roof mounted spoiler to reduce lift.

The next Mini Cooper electric model will offer far more range than the current one, according to reports. This is the Achilles heel of the EV at the moment, as its range is less than 190 km. The new EV could deliver as much as 400.

Mini previews its next-generation Countryman. The main focus is on the arrival of an electric variant in the lineup.

Mini introduces wheels made of 100-percent recycled aluminum for the convertible version of its Cooper SE. These are the first wheels of their kind to be manufactured on a large scale. We can imagine it won’t be long before we see similar products elsewhere.
