BMW Group brands dominated the UK performance car market for the first three quarters of 2021, taking nine of the top 20 best-seller spots, including the outright win.
The Mini Cooper S topped the chart, with sales of 4171, beating the Toyota GR Yaris, which had a stunning run to place second with 2963.

It's a bit arbitrary isn't it, as to what's a performance car and what isn't. For example, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range sold more than any of the cars listed, gets to 60 in just over 4 seconds and goes round corners as well as several on the list, yet doesn't appear?
Also surprised the Toyota 86 isn't in the top sellers list, another one that I would like and would choose over the rest on the list.
Clearly my preferences are a minority though as they clearly didn't sell that well.
Oh, I suppose an abarth 500 is too old to be a good seller, I'd still have one though.
Si73, the GT86 ended production in 2021, sales were slowing anyway due to it being 8 years old, not sure when Toyota start taking orders for the GR86 in the UK
