Design features.
The signature character of MINI John Cooper Works is reflected in a minimalistic design language. At the front of the car there are new LED headlights and a hexagonal grille with a bright red horizontal insert. Enlarged air intakes provide even more efficient cooling of the engine and brakes on the hottest track days. A developed diffuser appeared in the rear bumper, which optimizes the air flow under the bottom of the car.
Standard John Cooper Works alloy wheels are 17 inches. 18-inch wheels and new two-tone John Cooper Works Circuit Spoke wheels are available as an option. The exterior color palette consists of Chili Red, Rebel Green (exclusive to MINI John Cooper Works) and the new Island Blue metallic and Rooftop Gray metallic.
Key characteristics and units.
The MINI John Cooper Works exuberant temperament is powered by the MINI TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine, developed using MINI racing experience. With a volume of 2 liters, it develops a power of 231 hp. and a torque of 320 Nm. In combination with a six-speed manual transmission, the hatchback accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds, and with the optional Steptronic Sport eight-speed automatic transmission in just 6.1 seconds.
A rich sound is provided by a sports exhaust system with two stainless steel tailpipes with a diameter of 85 mm. It is standard on MINI John Cooper Works, as is a high-performance braking system developed in collaboration with Brembo. Powerful brakes with red-painted four-piston fixed calipers and ventilated discs ensure reliable deceleration.
The MINI John Cooper Works sports suspension delivers legendary kart-like responsiveness. High maneuverability is useful in fast bunches of turns, and in dense city traffic.
As an option, a new generation adaptive suspension is available, the main feature of which is frequency-dependent valves. They change the transmission capacity depending on the frequency and amplitude of the oscillations, providing an optimal ride and a balance between sportiness and comfort. Suspension settings change at a frequency of 50 to 100 milliseconds, and its damping properties have increased by 10%.
Expanded equipment.
The adaptive suspension is also part of the John Cooper Works performance line. It includes Piano Black interior and exterior trim and Dinamica/Leather sports seat upholstery.
The new MINI John Cooper Works is available with equipment packages that enhance online services, driver assistance systems and driving comfort. These include important features such as a heated steering wheel, lane departure warning (included in the Driving Assistant package) and dynamic cruise control with brake function. Park Distance Control (PDC) with sensors at the rear of the car is standard.
In addition, MINI John Cooper Works comes standard with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display and a new operating system that provides easy and intuitive access to vehicle functions, audio and navigation. Widgets can be arranged on the screen in a similar way to modern smartphones. The content and order of the widgets are customizable.
Lounge and Sport skins are available for the center display and digital instrument cluster and can be selected from the control system menu.
The color scheme is linked to the MINI Driving Modes. For example, in Sport mode, the color scheme with red accents changes depending on the amount of pedal pressure, steering wheel turn, and optionally according to gear shifts and suspension damping. Thanks to this, the emotions from the control will become even brighter.
