"MINI John Cooper Works boasts a cult following around the world that few others can match,” said Daren Ching, Head of MINI Asia. “Steeped in heritage and oozing pure racing DNA, 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!"

The first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Electric and first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Aceman: Electric high performance.

The vehicle architecture of the fully electric MINI models is perfectly suited for the brand's consistently performance-oriented character. The first-ever MINI JCW Electric and first-ever MINI JCW Aceman have up to 190 kW/258 hp and 350 Nm of instantly available system torque. Both models provide an additional 20 kW of motor power via an electric boost function, allowing for particularly dynamic acceleration. The JCW-specific suspension tuning maximises the typical MINI go-kart feeling and guarantees agile handling. High-performance tires are part of the standard equipment of both models.

Exclusive equipment details emphasise the emotional connection to the brand's traditional motorsport heritage. These include the red-white-black John Cooper Works logo in the style of a checkered flag from motorsports, as well as a JCW-specific Red Roof. Black side skirts, model-specific aeroblades at the C-pillar, and the accentuated rear spoiler optimise the aerodynamics for increased range. The three-door MINI JCW Electric achieves 371 km, while the five-door MINI JCW Aceman can drive up to 355 km on a single battery charge.

The all-new MINI JCW and all-new MINI JCW Convertible: Legendary go-kart feeling with powerful acceleration. A four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine with a displacement of two litres, 231 hp, and 380 Nm of torque offers maximum driving fun and top performance in both the all-new MINI JCW and all-new MINI JCW Convertible. The sportily tuned dual-clutch automatic transmission translates the engine power into particularly dynamic gear changes. The all-new MINI JCW sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, while the all-new MINI JCW Convertible takes 6.4 seconds. The top speed of the all-new MINI JCW is 250 km/h, while the all-new MINI JCW Convertible reaches 245 km/h. For boundless open-air driving pleasure, the softtop of the Convertible can be fully retracted in just 18 seconds at speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The large octagonal high-gloss black front grille with wide air vents for efficient engine cooling and the modern JCW logo dominate the front view of both models. Red-coloured inserts in the side air inlets on the front apron underscore the motorsport-oriented design for maximum performance. In the centre of the black rear diffuser, the centrally positioned tailpipe emphasises the character of these two top athletes.

The all-new MINI JCW Countryman ALL4: Extraordinary driving fun on any terrain.

As the largest model, the all-new MINI JCW Countryman with ALL4 all-wheel drive allows enthusiasts to drive off-road and stands for a unique combination of style, power, and adventurous spirit. The powerful engine delivers 300 hp of power, 400 Nm of maximum torque, and a top speed of 250 km/h, making the appearance of MINI's spacious multi-talent particularly emotional.

This performance is also reflected in the powerful appearance of the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4. In the front view, aerodynamic elements with red reflectors emphasise the wide stance, while at the rear of the vehicle, vertical taillights with the John Cooper Works Signature Mode frame the upright body. Advanced assistance systems support the driver through progressive technologies.

Puristic interior with motorsport accents.

The clear design of the interior in the all-new MINI JCW models is characterised by JCW-specific equipment details in red and black. The black JCW sports steering wheel with red decorative stitching and a six o'clock spoke made of black and red fabric provides excellent grip. The JCW sports seats offer secure support during dynamic driving. The combination of black leatherette with multi-colored knitted material in the shoulder area and red accent stitching picks up the colour pattern of the knitted surface of the dashboard. In all MINI John Cooper Works models, the brilliant sound of the exclusive Harman Kardon sound system enhances the driving experience as standard.

Advanced technology for maximum driving pleasure.

The JCW-specific go-kart mode expands the selection options of the MINI Experience Modes in the vehicles of the all-new MINI JCW family with additional motorsport flair. The steering is set to a more direct setting, and the accelerator pedal responds faster to commands for increased driving fun. Accordingly, the high-resolution OLED display provides additional performance-related data such as torque, power output, and current g-force.

For all MINI JCW models, the Digital Key Plus provides a convenient digital vehicle key on the smartphone. This allows the vehicle to be comfortably unlocked or locked without having to pick up the smartphone.

Long racing tradition with legendary successes.

The history of MINI JCW dates back to the year 1961. The John Cooper recognised the competitive potential of the classic Mini long before anyone else. By installing a more powerful engine, new brakes, and a more direct steering, he turned the modest small car into a race car that made the giants of the rally scene tremble in the 1960s. The three overall victories at the legendary Rallye Monte Carlo in 1964, 1965, and 1967 are among the absolute highlights of the classic Mini's racing career.

The current generation now carries the successful racing history into the future. Most recently with the impressive class victory of a prototype based on the new MINI JCW at the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. Regardless of the model, all high-performance vehicles in the new MINI JCW family exude one decisive characteristic: the enthusiasm for top performance.
