Thanks Giannis :D
 
I have driven the cars and for a MINI it is simply brilliant.
This engine really matches the MINI's Go-kart feeling of handling in some cases the car in convertible form feels like a Rollercoaster carriage.

The first part of MINI news for Geneva is coming, very soon.
 

MINI

Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive brand founded in 1969, owned by German BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Netherlands. The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a brand in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.
