Not many cars do fun like the Mini Cooper. But fun doesn’t just mean cute styling and snappy handling; many drivers need a dash of pure performance, and it’s for those people that Mini developed the John Cooper Works (JCW) edition. The BMW-owned company has revived this version after more than a year’s hiatus and improvements make this not only the most powerful Mini ever made, but perhaps the most fun.
