Now that we know just how good the next MINI Cooper S will look like and what engine will be powering the hatch, it's easier to watch a spy video of the car on the 'Ring, in anticipation of a test drive.
Our trusty spy photographers compiled a video of the Mk3 model at the Green Hell, going from shots of the car at the garage and the HQ of BMW at the Nurburgring, over to rolling shots.
As you'll notice, the new Cooper is pretty fast and agile, at least that's how it looks like in our video. That seems to be the result of the new UKL chassis and the 2-liter TwinTurbo engine working together, as MINI claims.
With 192 HP and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque, this will probably be the most powerful Cooper S model ever built, not to mention the biggest engine ever to be used inside a MINI.
The new MINI Cooper will be unveiled in November with deliveries expected somewhere at the beginning of 2014.
