The new MINI John Cooper Works: power and precision
MINI John Cooper Works models have long been celebrated for their unrivalled driving dynamics and racing credentials. The new MINI JCW range continues this legacy, offering enthusiasts the choice between the thrill of petrol power and the cutting-edge performance of all-electric technology. Each version has been carefully engineered to deliver the unmistakable JCW experience, characterised by precise handling, impressive acceleration and an unwavering connection to the road.
The petrol-powered MINI John Cooper Works is designed to ignite passion at every turn. Its engine delivers tireless power and its chassis is engineered for precision. The all-electric JCW variant will offer a new dimension of performance, combining instant torque with the refined agility that characterizes the JCW brand. Both versions promise a driving experience that is as engaging as it is exciting, whether on the open road or on the race track.

Bulldog Racing: The power behind the performance
Key to the success of the MINI John Cooper Works PROtotype this year and last year’s podium finish with one of the few manual transmission racing cars at the 2023 Nürburgring 24 Hours is the expertise of Bulldog Racing.
