MINI JCW Accessories
MINI might be at the 2016 LA Auto Show, but BMW
Group's not-so-small car brand is also attending this year's Essen Motor Show,
in Germany. Visitors of the event will
get to see the latest selection of Original Accessories by John Cooper Works.
The new line of JCW accessories covers aerodynamics,
cockpit design, suspension tweaks, and Brembo brakes, complimenting the 231 PS and 320 Nm of torque of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo
engine. 0 to 100 km/h still comes in 6.3 seconds with a six-speed
manual and 6.1 seconds with an automatic gearbox.
MINI has also played around with the Cooper S
three-door and five-door hatch, as well as the Cooper S Convertible, which have
received a JCW (John Cooper Works) tuning kit that brings 17- and 18-inch light
alloy wheels, sports brake system, and a valve exhaust silencer said to
"provide a distinctive acoustic background to this increase in
temperament".
The highlight though is the addition of a JCW tuning
kit for the regular Cooper S models, upgrading the engine's output from 192 PS to 211 PS. Last, but definitely not least, the cars can also
be specified with an aerodynamic package, side stripes, stickers, and a Track
Fix mount for GoPro cameras.
