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

John Cooper Works is all about extreme driving and fun at the highest level of precision. But the highest performance demands tight control and stability, especially when you’re driving through bends at higher speeds. So we specially designed the 18” and 19” light alloy wheels to accommodate high-performance brakes. In bold Chili Red with a John Cooper Works badge, the 4-piston, fixed-caliper brakes provide you with all the stopping power you need for tight turns and fast changes of pace.

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.

Developed and tested on a variety of racetracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, our John Cooper Works sport suspension offers you perfect handling, a remarkably dynamic driving experience and impressive stability.

From the moment you switch on the engine, the incredible John Cooper Works roar reminds you of the power at your disposal. There is no better sound track to any drive than the deep, throaty growl you get every time you nudge the accelerator. And it only gets better once you switch to Sport Mode.

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.

Every now and then, you have the chance to really let loose. An empty highway, a long tunnel or a windy stretch of country road. 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.

The integrated white indicators house the side scuttles and flaunt the John Cooper Works badge on Piano Black with a Chili Red border.

Set in prime position close to the asphalt, the distinctive John Cooper Works sport seats are designed to give you full control of the incredible power beneath you. You will appreciate the extra lateral support when you are zipping around corners with legendary MINI handling and captivating agility.

The road is stretching out in front of you. The landscape is whizzing past. And the next exciting corner is coming up. Of course, 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 always right in front of you and clearly visible: speed, your current gear, the best moment to change up or down and even a rev display.

Setting new standards in dynamics and efficiency, our John Cooper Works models are fitted with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission to give you an even smoother, sportier drive. The extra gears reduce the number of revs at high speed to allow optimal power development. Steptronic functionality lets you choose between automatic ease and the thrill of manual shifting. The Start/Stop function makes driving more economical too, reducing fuel consumption, engine noise and emissions. The gentle gradation of the eight gears reduces the engine's rev interval between shifts, so you enjoy a more powerful acceleration.

The John Cooper Works sports steering wheel is crafted from perforated leather with Chili Red stitching. Shaped thumb rests give you the perfect grip, so you can take the corners like a pro and stay steady on the homestretch.

You can see the John Cooper Works commitment to excellence in every detail. Even the door sills have a refined look with an integrated John Cooper Works logo. The chequered flag design elements hint at the thrills to come.
