Travelling in the name of a legend: the new MINI John Cooper Works Roadster stands for driving fun with no limits.

Also on board the strong two-seater with its 155 kW (211hp) @ 6,000 rpm of power: the Sport Button and overboost function, which add an extra portion of thrust. The latter briefly raises the traction power by 20 units to give a total of 280 Nm. Pressing the Sport Button produces a distinctly more spontaneous response from the steering, and the accelerator pedal reacts even faster to pressure. And because the twin exhaust also produce a shriller tone, one clear instruction is required before it goes into action: soft top down!
