La Dolce Veloce

Well, it’s quite a name for a car (the MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP Kit), but then, it’s quite a car, and a car this small deserves a name that big! This MINI gets a power boost (to 218hp), and a minor weight reduction of 88 pounds (A/C delete option, no rear seats, less sound deadening). A limited slip differential is standard, as is stability control, larger brakes, special 18″ wheels, and bodywork modifications that include a pretty large rear wing.
