$40,300 for a tuned-up Mini? REALLY? That’s the opening price – including a $700 shipping fee, for the 50 coming-to-these-here-shores versions of Mini’s World Championship 50 (WC50) model (read all about it in out previous post here).

It features the JCW turbo’d 1.6 rated at 208 horsepower, all the other standard Works fixin’s, and special green paint (to sound like it’s worth the money, call it Connaught Green). Seriously though, it looks good. Just not THAT good.
