A new generation of the MINI Convertible is just around the corner, and once again there will be all the separate variants such as the base Cooper, sporty Cooper S and high-performance John Cooper Works. It’s the latter that’s featured in our latest round of spy shots, with the car spotted recently testing hard at the Nürburgring. It turns out the driver was testing a little too hard as he ended up losing control coming 'round a bend. Fortunately, he managed to save the car from a crash and was able to continue with the test. MINI has already revealed the latest John Cooper...

MINI has just introduced its new John Cooper Works performance edition of its latest Hardtop but if you want the same sporty look for less than the car’s $31,450 starting price, the British brand is offering a new Sport Pack that adds many of the visual tweaks of the dedicated JCW model. The Sport Pack is designed for both the regular Hardtop as well as the new Hardtop 4 Door, and at present it hasn’t been announced for sale in the U.S. We hope it does come, because in addition to the visual tweaks the pack also adds uprated suspension and some JCW goodies inside.

The Internet is awash in videos (real and fake) of people jumping (or trying to jump) moving vehicles. Many end in predictable tragedy. This one ends in triumph. Why? Because it's Tony Hawk.

Between the two is a ramp. Hawk hits the ramp milliseconds before the MINI does, and goes soaring over. Cue the wave of soon-to-be-crippled imitators in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...
