Once the light changes, you’re ready to unleash the power at your disposal – and the racer in you. We devised a series of tough challenges to show the awe-inspiring performance of our new MINI John Cooper Works models.

MINI JCW Convertible – MINI JCW 3-door Hatch – MINI JCW Countryman – MINI JCW Clubman

MEET THE MODELS.

Embodying the very essence of motorsport, our MINI John Cooper Works models boast a distinctive, yet muscular sophistication that makes heads turn and mouths drop. They are the reincarnation of John Cooper’s winning rally legends. These peerless, standalone powerhouses are packed full of impressive features – and are built to knock your socks off.

Peak Performance

POWER UP WITH A PULSATING 306 HP.

Packed full of rousing features, every John Cooper Works model embodies the essence of motor sport. Direct and intense, the power translates every impulse into action. As every curve approaches, the streets vibrate with the pulse of life – all the way to the home stretch.

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman – front grille – JCW badge

2.0 LITRE, TWINPOWER TURBO 4-CYLINDER ENGINE.

With output bumped up to a whopping 306 HP, an awe-inspiring 450 Nm of torque and a top speed of 250 km/h – these powerhouses have the extra oomph under the hood to see you through to every finishing line. Leveraging our racing expertise, these unruly turbochargers are tuned to give you the potent performance, and fuel efficiency, you’re looking for.

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman – sports exhaust system – tail pipe

NEW BIGGER SPORTS TAILPIPES.

Savour the intense pleasure. The low-frequency growl emitted by the new 95 mm twin-pipe sports exhaust system of the MINI JCW Clubman and MINI JCW Countryman is extremely satisfying. 10 mm wider than before, it doesn’t just look the part – it sounds meaner than ever, too. Once you’ve dialled up the volume, amped up the adrenaline and experienced the pulse-pumping power, you’ll be speechless.

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman – rear bumper – ALL4 badge

ALL4 ALL-WHEEL DRIVE.

Watch your pupils dilate as you see you have it all. And take it. All-weather capability. All-terrain agility. No matter what conditions you face, JCW ALL4 all-wheel drive provides the traction to maintain unbridled responsiveness – with added grip, stability and control provided by the mechanical front differential lock. This helps you maintain your focus, enjoy total peace of mind – and ensures every journey is as great as the destination.

SPORT SUSPENSION.

Handling is the heart of performance. And how well your vehicle handles is directly influenced by its suspension. Developed and tested on racetracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, our John Cooper Works sport suspension is 10 mm lower than standard – for an even more authentic race feeling. It offers you a remarkably dynamic driving experience and impressive stability – all providing optimum ride quality.

MINI John Cooper Works – 18” light alloy wheels – 18” brakes

BRAKES AND WHEELS.

John Cooper Works is about extreme driving at the highest level of precision. We designed the 4-piston, fixed-caliper JCW 18” brakes to specifically match the performance of JCW 18” and 19” light alloy wheels. They give you all the stopping power you need for tight turns and fast changes of pace. Resplendent in bold Chili Red and bearing the JCW badge, they naturally look the business, too.

AERODYNAMIC FRONT BUMPER.

Breathing is key to performance. Which is why we’ve furnished the MINI John Cooper Works front bumper with a new front splitter and larger air intakes – plus an additional cooler – to keep your engine and brakes at the ideal temperature for high performance and durability.

REAR SPOILER.

The sporty John Cooper Works rear spoiler gives you an extra aerodynamic edge, reduces drag and exerts downward pressure that keeps the car stuck to the road like glue.

STAINLESS STEEL PEDAL CAPS.

Our sporty John Cooper Works DNA can be found in every detail, like the stainless steel pedal caps. Particularly durable, particularly sleek and particularly good for putting your foot down flat.

MINI John Cooper Works – driving modes – switches

MINI DRIVING MODES.

Every now and then you have the chance to really let loose. An empty motorway, a long tunnel or an open stretch of country road. That’s the perfect time to switch to Sport Mode. It sharpens the steering and acceleration for sportier, more agile handling. And the sound alone is enough to make you remember why you love driving.

EXPERIENCE THE SOUND OF POWER.

Put on your head phones, turn up the sound and hear the legendary John Cooper Works roar. ^** ^***

Distinctive Design

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman – green and red – side view

DEVILISH DETAILS.

One look and you’re hooked. Even before you open the door, you sense that MINI John Cooper Works plays in a league of its own. The aerodynamic front bumper and sporty rear spoiler already hint at the excitement that awaits you. Step inside, and you’ll discover a suite of premium materials and track-focussed details designed to impart that exclusive race car feeling.

JOHN COOPER WORKS LEATHER STEERING WHEEL.

Crafted from the finest, perforated soft-grain leather, with red accent stitching, the John Cooper Works sports steering wheel is your host for your most-used functions. Specially molded thumb rests give you the perfect grip so you can take corners like a pro – and stay steady on the home stretch. It’s just what you need to give you power at your fingertips and track performance in the palm of your hand while flooring it on the open road.

MINI John Cooper Works – automatic transmission

TRANSMISSION REVAMPED.

Setting new standards in dynamics and efficiency, our John Cooper Works models are fitted with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission including shift paddles for the steering wheel. That gives you powerful acceleration with a gentle gradation of the gears reducing rev intervals between shifts. The start/stop function makes driving more economical, too, reducing fuel consumption, engine noise and emissions.

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman – interior – upholstery

SPORT SEATS.

Our John Cooper Works models combine premium comfort, functionality and aesthetics in a striking interior. All John Cooper Works sport seats come with an integrated headrest, enhanced lateral support and Dinamica/cloth upholstery combination. Sitting has never been so exciting. Or so comfortable. Set in prime position, you’re in full control of the power at your feet.

SIDE SCUTTLES.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. These exclusive side scuttles not only brandish the John Cooper Works badge in Piano Black, but they also house integrated white indicators. Just the right finishing touch to add to the classic go-kart feeling every time you turn.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY.

The road is stretching out. The landscape is flying past. The next corner’s coming up. You don’t want to look away. And with the high contrast Head-Up Display you don’t have to. All the information you need is right in front of you – speed, revs, your current gear, and the best moment to change up or down. It’s like having your own personal co-driver joining in the fun.

JCW DOOR SILLS.

The John Cooper Works commitment to excellence is evident in every last detail. Even the door sills have a refined expression, complete with an integrated John Cooper Works logo. The checkered flag design elements more than hint at what’s to come. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be hot.

MINi John Cooper Works – 8.8” touchscreen – connectivity

PERFECT CONNECTIVITY.

The faith of a few

John Cooper – Mini Cooper – 1965 Monte Carlo Rally

THE LEGACY OF JOHN COOPER.

MINI John Cooper Works models descend from a line of racing champions created by the trailblazing Formula One car builder, John Cooper. He knew racing potential when he saw it. And his keen eye spotted it in the newly introduced Classic Mini.

THE FAITH OF A FEW.

No one predicted that John Cooper and the iconic classic Mini would take the chequered flag, against all odds. The feisty underdog took the motor racing world by storm, overpowering opponents with its nimble handling and groundbreaking engine and wheel layout. Time and time again.

WRITING MOTORSPORT HISTORY.

The John Cooper Works story has its roots in 1946. Charles Cooper and his son John founded the Cooper Car Company and built their first racing cars in Charles' small garage in Surbiton, England. This humble beginning would ultimately change the course of motorsport, and help create a thriving worldwide racing legacy that still exists to this day. Not to mention the profound effect it would soon have on the classic Mini. Check out the excellent ""John Cooper: Genius & Works"", an exclusive documentary produced by Sky.

John Cooper Works – single-seat Formula Three racing car

PUTTING THE DRIVER FIRST.

The Cooper Car Company first built single-seat Formula Three racing cars. These were hugely successful in the 500cc class due to their revolutionary rear engine. This stroke of genius soon made the Cooper Car Company the choice for aspiring young drivers. John Cooper went on to win both the Formula One World Championship and Constructors Championship.

John Cooper Works – The first Mini Cooper

THE MAKING OF A LEGEND.

After enjoying considerable success with his own car constructions, John Cooper became fascinated with the newly introduced classic Mini. Intrigued by its potential, he envisioned turning it into a champion racer. With the addition of a more powerful engine, new brakes and sharper steering, he had soon transformed this modest little family car into a giant-slaying racing car. In 1961, the first Mini Cooper was born.

John Cooper – Mini Cooper – race trophies

DEFYING ALL CONVENTION.

Now, nothing could hold Mini back. John Cooper’s instinct had once again been spot on. He was the master of his game. A car for the ages had been created. By 1964, Mini Cooper was a globally renowned marque. It won almost every competition imaginable – including historic wins at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967. Mini and John Cooper had developed the classic Mini into a winner that was vastly superior to its competitors.

MINI Cooper S – John Cooper Works MINI Cooper

BRAND NEW ERA.

In 2001, 'Mini' joined the BMW Group and was rebranded as MINI. This change brought a great revival of interest in tuning the MINI models and continuing John Cooper Works’s legacy. John Cooper Works MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S Tuning Kits were made available through MINI Centres worldwide from 2003, boosting the output of the MINI Cooper to 126 hp (93 Kw) and the MINI Cooper S to an impressive 200 hp (147 Kw).

MINI Cooper S – John Cooper Works GP Kit

FASTER AND FASTER.

A pre-tuned MINI Cooper S with the John Cooper Works GP Kit was launched in 2006. This new limited edition MINI hatchback delivered breathtaking performance and a unique racing feeling. It was the fastest road-going MINI to date, able to reach 62 mph (100km/h) in just under 6.5 seconds. Only 2,000 were produced. And all in a single unique colour scheme: metallic Thunder Blue with Chili Red Mirrors and a Pure Silver roof where the production number between 1 and 2,000 was displayed.

REBIRTH OF A LEGEND.

In 2007, BMW acquired the John Cooper Works brand name, engineering and development resources. And one year later, the first two new MINI John Cooper Works models were launched: a totally updated version of the John Cooper Works Hatch and the John Cooper Works Clubman. These powerhouses were equipped with a 1.6 litre four-cylinder engine with Twin Scroll turbocharger and an output of 211 hp (155 kW). A testament to John Cooper’s pioneering spirit and commitment to driving performance. Five years later, in 2013, the limited edition MINI John Cooper Works GP was released, boasting a 218 hp turbo-charged, four-cylinder engine. Once again, just 2,000 of these highly sought-after models were produced.

X-raid MINI John Cooper Works Rally car – Dakar Rally

CHAMPION INSTINCT.

MINI’s motorsport legacy lives on in the MINI John Cooper Works models that have just hit the streets. They all share the same high-performance DNA and racing-grade tuning to deliver a potent combination of precision handling and acceleration. Furthermore, our MINI John Cooper Works Racing Team is conquering the competition, too. It recently took the chequered flag at Daytona – beating some of the world’s premier sports cars. And after winning the Dakar Rally four years in succession, the X-raid MINI John Cooper Works Rally team had an excellent Dakar Rally 2019, with five crews finishing in the top ten, and the team achieving second place overall.
