Grown up, Sensed up // MINI Cooper S F56 on Rotiform
MINI’s in our local market used to be one of those cars that only enthusiasts could understand.

Fuel economy of 10 liter/100 km. Four doors. 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds. 550 bhp. Sold as 63 despite its 5.5L engine. On paper these stuffs do not seem to make sense.
