148 MPH MINI

-

The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman is latest member of the John Cooper Works family, the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman.

It features all the upgrades already seen on the John Cooper Works Hatch and Convertibl­e models and will be debuted this week at the Paris Motor Show.

These include the 231 hp engine with modified MINI Twin Power turbocharg­er, sports suspension and powerful braking system. A 0-100 km/h time of just 6.3seconds and a top speed of 148 mph is the result.

The MINI John Cooper Works Clubman is instantly recognizab­le thanks to its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, and its rear wing.

These not only help reduce lift, but in the case of the front section, assist with the additional cooling requiremen­ts of the more powerful engine.

Unique alloy wheels and John Cooper Works badging also denote the top-of-the-range Clubman, as does the option of the special colour 'Rebel Green'.

Inside, the John Cooper Works specificat­ion includes sports seats, an Alcantara headliner, and a wide array of standard equipment including MINI Navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivi­ty, and cruise control with brake function.

MINI logo projection is also included within the standard package.

Beyond that, MINI offers a huge range of personaliz­ation options and further equipment, allowing owners to create their own, unique, MINI John Cooper Works Clubman.

Further exclusive touches include the side turn indicator surrounds, which feature a red accentuati­on line along with the John Cooper Works logo applied against a black background, and the hexagon pattern grille with a red cross member bar at the bottom edge.

The 'John Cooper Works' logo appears here too, as well as on the right-hand door at the rear of the car.

The standard LED headlamps are surrounded by a daytime driving light ring that also uses LED technology, the lower section of which is white and acts as the turn indicator.
