Since its return from that great scrap yard in the sky, Minis have been taking the country by storm. And now, with the unveiling of the new Works, this success looks set to continue.

With a revised engine head, new pistons and a fiddled exhaust, this model of the Mini can manage 0-62 in 6.4 seconds. While that may not sound exciting compared to a Bentley or Jaguar, this power is produced off a tiny 1.6-litre engine making it mightily impressive.
