The new 211 hp MINI John Cooper Works.
A new model arrives at the award winning dealerships next week – the MINI John Cooper Works goes on sale on 22 July. As MINI’s first unlimited production John Cooper Works model, it pushes out 211 hp, 280 Nm of torque (with Overboost), 0-62 mph in 6.5 seconds* and has a dynamic aerodynamic body kit.
The John Cooper Works brand name has been synonymous with MINI for over
40 years, and now that BMW (http://www.mini2.com/2008/07/18/mini-the-dealers-choice/#) Group owns the name, it will go on from strength to strength. Priced at £20,995, the MINI John Cooper Works will be first to launch, followed by the Clubman in early 2009 (price tbc).
Initial press feedback has been incredibly positive:
Autocar referred to it as: “The hottest version of the new age MINI so far.”
WhatCar? Claim: “As hot hatches go, it’s hotter than a blacksmith’s armpit.”
The Daily Telegraph’s Honest John declares “…the 211PS John Cooper Works is a little monster.” He continues: “The upside is they have managed to do all this, yet still certificate the car at 165g/km CO2 and 40.9 mpg combined. So the fun doesn’t hit you in the pocket in running costs.”
MINI goes back to university
The MINI John Cooper Works model makes its UK début at the British International Motor Show on 22 July. Set on a university-themed stand, the first MINI John Cooper Works customer will be handed the keys to their 211 hp car. Other areas of the MINIVERSITY stand include the Institute of MINIMALISM – an area dedicated to MINI’s equivalent of Efficient Dynamics; The Union – a meeting place for MINI Owners; the Faculty of Engineering – an area for personalisation and discovery of MINI’s production facilities in the UK.

Premiär i Sverige 2 augusti på Ring Knutstorp om allt funkar.
Så 211 hk, 280 Nm, 0-100 km/h på 6,5 s., maxfart 238 km/h, nya JCW fälgar, och ett JCW catback avgassystem.
Nya JCW-bromsar också (fyrkolvsok), vilket jag har påtalat under lång tid var på gång då dessa har varit synliga på R56 Works-reklambilder sedan R56-premiären.
Allt annat önskvärt verkar inte ingå utan är fortfarande tillval.
Mer information och bilder finns lite varstans bla här:
