By CARSIFU | 15 October 2024

PARIS: At the Paris Motor Show from Oct 14 to 20, MINI is presenting the new John Cooper Works (JCW) Electric and new JCW Aceman.

Both all-electric cars produce up to 190kW/258hp.

The MINI 3 door sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, while the MINI JCW Aceman reaches 100 km/h from a standing start in 6.4 seconds.

Both models have a top speed of 200 km/h and a system torque of 350 Nm.

The high-voltage batteries, each with an energy content of 54.2 kWh (gross), provide the MINI JCW Electric with a 371km WLTP range and up to 355km for the MINI JCW Aceman.

"With the new all-electric MINI John Cooper Works models, we are bringing the legendary performance and driving dynamics of MINI into a completely new era”, says Stefan Richmann, head of MINI.

With the development of the new fully electric models, MINI John Cooper Works is following a long racing tradition.

More than six decades ago, the sports car designer John Cooper developed an extremely sporty version of the classic Mini, which quickly achieved considerable success on racetracks and rally courses.

Its legendary status was cemented by three overall victories at the Monte Carlo Rally in the 1960s.

Most recently, a prototype based on the new MINI John Cooper Works demonstrated the brand's engineering prowess by winning its class at the Nürburgring 24-hour race.

In the all-electric models of the new MINI family, this includes an innovative electric boost function for impressive strong power delivery.

The driver activates the go-kart mode by pressing the boost paddle on the sport steering wheel.

Additional 20 kW of electric power is then available for overtaking manoeuvres and performance-boosting acceleration.

This provides unique high-acceleration driving fun.

John Cooper Works-specific suspension settings maximise the go-kart feeling and ensure agile handling.

High performance, high grip tyres are standard on both models.

A powerful braking system in Chili Red with white JCW logo ensures precise and safe deceleration even in demanding driving situations.
