Hi All,

I just completed a test drive for the new 2010 MINI Cooper S with the John Cooper 'Works' tuning package. This little 1.6-litre kicked out 211 HP and 260-280Nm of torque. It was magnificent! I forgot how much fun there is to be had from a turbo hatch. These days I spend most of my time in a 911 and when I get asked to test a car out, they normally give me something with 6 or 8 cylinders and over 400 hp, this time I was in my element to be in a hot hatch.

Hope you enjoy the article! This is another exclusive for RENNTEAM, the article is not yet out on the shelves, it will be out on Tuesday (23rd)in Oman - if you would like to download the entire issue go to www.y-oman.com, its free!

p.s - stay tuned for the next one, I think it will be a new 2010 W12 VW Phaeton.
