    0-60 in just under 8 seconds. Its not the quickest standard, but Im sure there will be no problems getting that down into the 6 second bracket.

    i'd heard roumours about this Car for a while, it's about time Fiat enthusiasts got a hot hatch round the 200bhp mark instead of the 130's!

    Better than the Mini Cooper Works edition they say.

    standard is 135 i believe. essesse version 160 but i have heard of a limited race version that kicked out 197bhp from 1.4 litres!!

    its just one of those cars that looks fantastic when it blows something big fast and powerful and costing 10 times the price into the weeds....

    cant wait to see one being 'driven' on the roads.

    Which would you prefer?

    I'd prefer the works,

    judging from the facts given earlier in the thread the works is faster, 0-60 6.8secs, plus this isnt the fastest mini you can get and that seems to be the fastest 500 you can get..
