Revealed at Geneva

*More power, more charisma, more individuality
*Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show

The wraps have come off the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the new turbo-charged MINI Cooper S. The sports version of the world’s favourite compact premium small car will be given an additional power boost adding yet more wicked smiles per mile to MINI Cooper S ownership. With the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the MINI Cooper S, the 1.6 litre twin scroll turbo engine’s output spikes to an impressive 141 kW (or 192 bhp). Maximum torque also rises from 240 Nm to 250 Nm between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. For sling-shot bursts of overtaking nirvana, the turbo engine Overboost function spirals the torque for a short period to a heady 270 Nm between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. Putting motor racing passion into every drive is an accompanying range of authentic John Cooper Works accessories, both cosmetic and mechanical, all of which allow owners to build their most exciting cars yet. These pulse-quickening features include a sports chassis, front perforated brake discs and 18-inch light alloy wheels. These options can be ideally combined with numerous other features from the John Cooper Works accessory range which equally enhance the car’s sporting spirit: with body-coloured aerodynamics packages, John Cooper Works sports seats, John Cooper Works sports steering wheel and selected carbon-fibre interior fittings. The John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the MINI Cooper S includes race-bred components. This most powerful version of the new MINI thus carries on a tradition which dates back to the legendary racing success of MINI and John Cooper Works in the 1960s. The John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the MINI Cooper S consists of a sports exhaust system, a sports air filter and an electronic engine management system optimised for greater power efficiency. The resulting package fires the MINI Cooper S to new performance peaks and even greater driving fun. And the sporty look of the new MINI Cooper S can be further refined with the appropriate ingredients from the John Cooper Works collection. The sports chassis not only ensures even more agile handling but also lowers the suspension by 10 mm. In keeping with this, John Cooper Works provides a colour-coded aerodynamic body kit which consists of a front and rear apron and side sills – as well as a selection of 18-inch light allow wheels - the “Double Spoke” design has a particularly agile look. The largest wheel authorised for the new MINI (dimensions 7J x 18) has low-profile run-flat safety tyres sized at 205/40/18. The perforated brake discs are also borrowed from classic racing technology.

Carbon-fibre exterior treatments extend to trim panels for the front air inlet, exterior mirrors and tailgate handle, the latter items also suitable for the MINI Cooper models. A John Cooper Works roof spoiler in carbon fibre is also available for the new MINI, while inside there are sports seats that not only look great but also provide improved lateral support for dynamic driving. A new feature offered with the R56 generation cars is the John Cooper Works sports steering wheel. It is available either with leather or alcantara wrapping, allowing the driver to choose between looks or functionality or both. In addition, the range of custom features available to MINI buyers continues to expand. In addition to extra driving lamps, and illuminated sill covers, owners can have the rear view mirror back and door mirror backs finished in Union jacks or chequered flag designs, as well as for the door handle trims. Finally the roof decal list grows to include a handy helicopter landing pad motif (owners are advised to take care when parking at the airport). MINI-specific roof and rear carrier systems enable the safe transport of bicycles, skis, snowboards or roof boxes. The especially useful options also include high-quality textile floor mats, a rear protective cover, a luggage compartment tub and folding sun blinds.

other than the rear bumper everything looks good. expect a 5,000+ charge for all of this

looks very nice , the rear end ,, the "racey" wing and the new rims

now i love the new shape mini cooper, the original one was ugly...and now i love this, the red and black colour combo, it looks great, i love the bodykit, very smooth and nice, awsome car, well the hood scoop thing, CF thing looks great, but it has no use at all, nevermind i love the rims and the side skirt, the little grill looks sexy on that, and those rims are similar to the gallardo SE ones...:p...i dont like the rear, i dont know, but it seems to be wanting to be similar to the front one, which is not a good thing, just get rid of the two side ones, keep the middle one and i am so sure that it will look great, the spoiler, wow, it looks very good either, i love the design of that...

i like it exept that wing, i thing it doesnt fit with the rest of the car, just doesnt go along

hmm interesting car, I was planning on trading in my Mini in 6 months but i might have to go earlier, only problem with JCW is a easy 32,000 prices tag, which in my opinion even though i love the car is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much money to pay for a mini.

I just read and its actually down in power, last mini jcw was at 207bhp this one is at 198bhp

^^since its a turbocharged unit i think it'll easily make power with simple add-ons ..

wow i like it

wings that make the car's height taller look weird. Do you think the JCW kit plus the mini is over priced?

^^since its a turbocharged unit i think it'll easily make power with simple add-ons ..

Apparently this one is harder to tune than the supercharged unit because the turbo is very complicated

I was expecting a bit more power than that since the car is a good bit bigger than the last one

Pretty cool hatch IMO...but I'd rather have something else...

Cool.
Real nice...but the wing...the WING!!

...it makes it look riced.

honestly, i think that looks amazing. first time i've ever seen myself say "that spoiler looks goon on thur" and was talking about a hatchback.

Looks pretty nice actually. Like the smugness about it, the rims, the black stripes, everything. Just reeks of total coolness. The engine sounds pretty nippy aswell. I've always liked Minis, and this one just reiterated the fact that they're just such cool cars.

Not sure about it, frankly. Actually, I am, looking at it again. I don't like it. But then, I'd rather have the old 'new' Mini than the new 'new' Mini any day. The new (new) one looks nowhere near as good as the old (new) one.

personally i think the new new one looks great. slightly cleaner lines, and a smoother engine (so i've heard).
