The most evo minded offering is the John Cooper Works Roadster, which is propelled by a 208bhp four-cylinder turbocharged engine.

Performance will be fiery with the 0-62mph sprint in a claimed 6.5sec, and a top speed of 147mph, added to which the combined fuel consumption is 38.7 mpg with169g/km of C02.

Along with Mini’s usual broad potential for personalization, Apple iPhone owners can also access Internet based services inside the car, using the centre console joystick, steering wheel buttons and on-board monitor. This opens the door to a web radio function, use of Google services, Facebook and Twitter.

Prices start at £18,015 for the standard Cooper, rising to £24,850 for the JCW. All variants go on sale from the 25th of February; with the first UK deliveries to take place in March this year.
