If you’re a fan of open-air driving, you’re in luck as the new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible will make its debut this spring. In this latest model of John Cooper Works, some features found in the previous model have been retained: the 2-litre TwinPower Turbo engine, as it is in MINI John Cooper Works Hatch, is retained completely with the extraordinary 231 hp and 320 Nm of torque.

To utilize optimally this strong engine, the suspension, braking and cooling specification of the MINI Convertible have been appropriately improved. Built with model-specific suspension settings, the MINI John Cooper Works Convertible has a braking system that can be customized, and larger intakes to increase cooling capability.

2016 MINI Convertible has been unveiled

The 2016 MINI Convertible was the first premium convertible to enter the small car class. While still the only one of its kind in the small car segment, the MINI Convertible has released a new edition that comes with several remarkable changes.

Though it still has four seats and can still be driven with an open top, a number of features have been optimized, particularly with the quality of work and materials used. These features are typically what customers expect from the MINI such as comfort, efficiency, safety, and sportiness. However, the functionalities and its connectivity have been enhanced as well.

When the MINI Convertible will be officially launched to the market, three engine options will be available though each has basically the same specifications when it comes to efficiency with CO2 emissions at 139 – 100 g/km and fuel consumption measured at 6.0 – 3.8 l/100 km.

MINI and MINI Convertible receive the John Cooper Works Pack

MINI revealed the new John Cooper Works Pack, developed especially for the MINI and MINI Convertible, which means that you don’t have to own a Cooper S in order to have the JCW badge on the popular mini car.

The design is completed by the 17-inch weight-optimised light-alloy wheels in John Cooper Works Cross Spoke CHALLENGE design.
