The first purely electric halo Mini hatch is here and spoiling for a fight This new Mini John Cooper Works Electric is 1725kg before its driver has climbed in. Itâ€™s hard not to fret for its dynamism.Â Other cars, such as the current-gen BMW M3 have received criticism for similar mass, while a Nismo GT-R is actually a few bags of sugar lighter.Itâ€™s the first purely electric halo Mini Cooper, and it arrives with reasonable potency. Its 255bhp and 258lb ft peaks drive the front wheels for 0-62mph in 5.9sec; the latest petrol JCW is 320kg lighter but 0.2sec slower.Â
