I think it is a Cooper S as I'm nearly certain I saw an air intake scoop. I'm at work at the moment and can not access the video link - will have to check at home tonight to verify!
I think it's a shame MINI UK aren't doing their own stuff this time around. They seemed very proud and pleased with their own flavour and style of advertising for the first generation. I hope they're going entirely generic.
