Mini JCW Countryman
Joining the Clubvan Concept on the Mini stand at the Geneva Motor Show will be the new John Cooper Works Countryman.
Under its bonnet sits a reworked 1.6 litre direct injection, twin-scroll turbo petrol engine which produces 214 bhp (160 kW / 218 PS). Peak torque is 280 Nm (207 lb/ft), although that figure rises to 300 Nm (221 lb/ft) on overboost.
With the manual gearbox, those outputs are enough for a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h). The all-wheel drive JCW Countryman isn’t the most efficient member of the Mini range though, as combined fuel consumption is 39.2 mpg (7.2 l/100km) and CO2 emissions are 167 g/km.
The good news for those who can’t be bothered changing gears themselves is that the Countryman is the first JCW model that’ll be available with an optional six-speed automatic transmission. This doesn’t affect the acceleration time and the top speed falls by just 1 mph, but - as might be expected - economy drops to 35.3 mpg (8.0 l/100km) and CO2 production jumps to 187 g/km.
Standard specification for the John Cooper Works Countryman includes an aerodynamic body kit, 18” alloy wheels (larger 19” rims are on the options list), stiffer suspension and a sports exhaust system. The interior meanwhile gets sports seats and a sports steering wheel.
Pricing has yet to be confirmed.
