The new JCW models feature a sporty automatic dual-clutch transmission and paddle shifters, enhancing the dynamic driving experience. A specially tuned suspension ensures MINI’s signature “go-kart” handling, while the advanced braking system in Chilli Red ensures safe stopping power even in demanding conditions.
A bold design emphasizes the racing heritage, with a striking front grille, wide air intakes, and optional red or black bonnet stripes. LED headlamps, a rear spoiler, and exclusive 17- and 18-inch rims complete the sporty exterior.
The convertible version offers an additional exclusive Copper Grey paint option and a retractable soft top that opens fully in just 18 seconds, even at speeds up to 30 km/h.
Inside, the JCW models maintain their motorsport roots with sports seats in a red-and-black color scheme, a JCW sports steering wheel, and a dashboard inspired by racing design.
Advanced technology includes a high-resolution OLED display and MINI’s toggle bar, with features such as wireless charging and an optional Harman Kardon sound system. The Go-Kart driving mode enhances the motorsport experience by displaying real-time performance data, including torque and g-forces.
Both models come equipped with comprehensive driver assistance systems, including automatic speed control, lane-keeping assistance, and advanced parking technology. These features, alongside the updated MINI Navigation system, provide both excitement and comfort for everyday driving.
