First drive: Retro pocket rocket strikes again

ALMOST 2 YEARS ago did Peter Aaboe test-drive the all New Mini Cooper � and now the time has come to take the top version of this retro pocket rocket for a spin again. So � is 163 bhp from a supercharged 1,6-litre enough? Get the answer on the next pages.

- 4-seater hot hatch
- 163 bhp
- 19.900 Euro in Germany
- 345.000 DKK in Denmark
