Apparently MINI is not set to release details on its new John Cooper Works model until next week, but Australian media has reportedly led the way in giving the world an early look at what is the fastest MINI ever made.
Here’s the key stats:
- 2.0 litre turbocharged engine
- 170kW between 5200–6000rpm
- 320Nm of torque, available from 1250–4800rpm
- 0–100km/h in 6.1 seconds (6-speed auto)
- 0–100km/h in 6.3 seconds (6-speed manual)
- 6-speed manual transmission available
- 1205kg (+15kg for auto)
- Electronic diff lock
- Increased track
- 17″ alloys standard, 18″ optional
The F56 JCW will make its show debut in Detroit next January. Expect it to be on sale locally in late 2015.

What are those wheels!
So if Peugeot can get 199kW out of the previous 1.6 Prince engine used in the R56 and have it pull 0-100km in 5.9 seconds with a six speed manual (instead of 6.1 with the supposedly faster auto in the F56), I’m really not understanding why Mini chose to stuff a 2.0 litre in the F56 – especially given it’s heavier and uses more fuel in real world driving.
Other than that, liking the new JCW seats.
And just like that, official details have now been released by BMW; coming soon…
I like it. Lets hope we have a choice of wheels. I don’t like the ones in the photo.
I’ve had the R53 for ten years now and I’m looking for a change. I’m not sure I want another MINI but if I did want another MINI, I would be happy to buy this one. (subject to a test drive).
