Elsewhere, we bring you a seriously sorted R53 that effortlessly blends stance style with track-car vibes, along with one of the meanest-looking MINIs we’ve seen in a long time, a wide-arch R56 that really isn’t messing about. On top of all that, we’ve got a very nicely modded F56 JCW that serves up plenty of style and pace, plus a full-on, Red Bull-liveried R56 Cooper S pushing a massive 390hp, and it’s an absolute beast.
