New Paceman ad shared on Facebook (which we'll probably never see like this on US TV!):

And a bit more marketing stuff:

That Starlight Blue/White looks a whole lot better in the vid than in the configurator!

Now that the PM has been on the config. for while and I've done a few builds it is starting to grow on me.

Thought my next MINI would be a Coupe but after driving my wife's CM for nearly a year I'm thinking if the PM measures up it could be just as "fun" and a lot more practical 

Hoping the dealer has some demos by the time my next service is due!

if i had to pick between r60s and r61s i would pick the r60s for looks, the r61 really comes to its own with the jcw version, again what is wrong with mini using the tiny exhaust tips.

In response to the OP & title ... given its weight only if it the JCW version had ~240hp.

Even tho the Paceman had more left shoulder and arm room, the power to weight goes to the BMW X1 or F31, so if I decide to trade-in the JCW, it'll have to be one of those.
