Well then, in this weeks auto express peugeot have apparently been linked to a 'rally spec' 240bhp 207 car.
Before someone mentions but its auto express, i just have to say they do get quite a percentage of things correct. So lets just forget about that.

People on here have been saying that the S engine is running close to capacity, but does anyone 'in the know' as in proper mechanics/engineers know if this is true. Would 240bhp be realistic?

Also since JCW are doing things in stages wouldnt it be great if they do this stage one thing of 190bhp, then a stage 2 normal road going JCW 210bhp and a beasty stripped out 'cup' style 240bhp animal

for stage 3.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I think you're looking closer to 225, 230 for the JCW MINI. Be nice to be wrong (and it be higher), but I wouldn't want to be over optimistic.

After all, this does come Auto Express.

Ooops, I said it.
