Under the hood, the 1TO6 Edition features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with the MINI John Cooper Works 2-door hardtop, creating a unique performance model. The standard stainless-steel pedals and manual transmission highlight the dynamic driving experience and exhilarating go-kart feel of the MINI John Cooper Works.

To add to its allure, the 1TO6 Edition includes standard Connected Media equipment such as an 8.8-inch touch display in the central instrument, the MINI Online Digital Service, Remote Services, and smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and other apps via the vehicle’s own control system.

About to hit the US market, there is hopeful anticipation that this thrilling model will eventually make its way to Canadian shores.
