The Autohub Group previewed the all-new MINI John Cooper Works editions just in time for the brand’s 66th anniversary globally. The lineup consisted of the MINI Cooper, MINI Convertible, and the MINI Countryman. Also for the first time, two fully electric MINIs are given the JCW treatment in the MINI Cooper Electric 3-door and MINI Aceman.
“These striking machines are a sight to behold on the road. Now with the addition of two fully electric models to the lineup, a new dimension of the iconic MINI go-kart feeling is born. If jolts of adrenaline are what drivers desire, I can assure them that all five models of our all-new MINI John Cooper Works family will exceed their expectations,” said Daren Ching, Head of MINI Asia.
Firsts – the MINI John Cooper Works Electric and MINI John Cooper Works Aceman
Both battery-electric MINIs are packed with 258 Hp and 350 Nm of torque, with an extra 20 kW of power via electric boost function. The MINI JCW Electric can run up to 371 km on a single charge, while the 5-door MINI JCW Aceman can go up to 355 km.
The powerful electric drives open a new chapter in the brand’s long history and demonstrate its ongoing commitment to performance and innovation. The signature go-kart feel of MINI was also maximized with the JCW-specific suspension tuning complemented by high-performance tires.
The MINI Electric and MINI Aceman feature red-white-black JCW logo in key areas, as well as JCW-specific red roof. There’s black side skirts, model-specific aeroblades at the C-pillar, and emphasized rear spoiler.
JCW MINI and MINI Convertible
A more powerful engine resides in the John Cooper Works MINI and MINI Convertible. It’s a 2-liter TwinPower Turbo with 231 hp and 380 Nm of torque that gives maximum driving pleasure and top performance. This is paired to a dual-clutch transmission that allows the MINI JCW to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 6.1 seconds with 250 kph top speed, while the MINI JCW Convertible can go for 6.4 seconds and a 245 kph limit. The top of the Convertible can also be retraced in 18 seconds while moving up to 30 kph.
The engine-driven MINIs have a large octagonal front grille with wider air vents for more efficient cooling under the hood. There are red-coloured inserts in the side air inlets and taking center stage at the back is the rear diffuser with center-positioned tailpipe.
All-new MINI Countryman JCW – For any terrain
You can conquer unpaved paths with the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman. It has ALL4 all-wheel drivetrain that allows you to go off-road for a unique combination of style, power, and adventurous spirit. Under the hood is a 300 hp engine with 400 Nm of torque and a top speed of 250 kph.
The MINI JCW Countryman is made distinct with its vertical taillights, aerodynamic bits, red reflectors, a wider stance, and Advanced Assistance Systems that aid the driver in their daily drives.
