Concerned the Mini JCW isn"t hardcore enough for you? Let this new John Cooper Works Challenge ease your fretting.It"s a 100-off limited edition, and it"s been designed and developed in the UK, and it"s only for us lot to buy.Much like the Renault Clio RS16, it"s been put together by a small team of engineers rather than being a product of mainstream development, and it"s designed to deliver "maximum track ability and on-road driving thrills".As such, there"s some specialist stuff on its spec sheet. There"s adjustable Nitron suspension, bigger Mintex brakes, a Quaife limited-slip differential and lightweight alloy wheels by Team Dynamics. These are all names familiar from motorsport and high-end performance cars, as well as the Mini Challenge race car.The suspension is particularly noteworthy, as it can be tweaked for bump, rebound, ride height and even camber. Given some find the standard JCW unremittingly tough on rough roads, such adjustability holds quite a lot of promise.
