    The Quattro’s four wheel drive system revolutionised the world of rallying. Putting out an insane 600 bhp, the S1 was a real force to be reckoned with, until it (and it’s Group B counterparts) were banned in 1986 due to a few too many accidents, resulting in deaths of drivers and spectators.

    Rumours are circulating of a new high power BMW Mini straight from the factory.

    The next generation uber-Mini won’t quite be upto the power of the Works GP model (218 bhp), but won’t be far off with around 210 bhp expected from its 1.6L turbocharged powerplant.
