It is finished in Cooper’s signature Connaught Green colour, and uses the same 208bhp 1.6-litre turbo engine and sharp chassis as the current JCW hot hatch The WC50 is much more unique, though. As well as the special paint it gets carbon detailing on the bonnet vent, rear apron and mirrors while there’s new 17in jet black Challenge alloys. The Xenon headlights are in darkened trim while the roof and bonnet stripes are white, the latter containing John Cooper’s signature.Inside, all of the options boxes have been ticked, so there’s leather, a swanky Harmon Kardon stereo, sat nav and a host of other kit. Production is limited to 250 cars with the production number displayed on the exterior of the car by the side indicators.
