Racing Genes Ex-Works: The John Cooper Works Pack for the MINI and MINI Convertible

The model-specific interior and exterior components optimize the handling of
the MINI and ensure it delivers an impressive visual impact. The John Cooper
Works Pack is due to be available from the second quarter of 2011 as a
factory-fit option.
Key to giving the cars fitted with the John Cooper
Works Pack their imposing appearance is the aerodynamics package, which lends
the front, rear and flanks of the MINI and MINI Convertible an undeniably
sporting flavor. The black border around the lower part of the body is
highlighted particularly clearly at the front and rear by a centrally positioned
indentation. The inner section of the surrounds for the positioning lights or
foglamps on the outer edges of the front apron feature horizontal slats. Plus,
the radiator grille has the same honeycomb structure as the lower air intake.
The side skirts continue the dynamic thread, curving inwards with a sweeping
flourish and adding a stylized opening at the rear. As part of the aerodynamics
package features, the powerfully formed rear apron includes prominent cut-outs
at its outer edges which mimic the appearance of the positioning light and
foglamp surrounds integrated into the front apron.
The 17-inch
weight-optimized light-alloy wheels in John Cooper Works Cross Spoke CHALLENGE
design ensure the best possible contact with the road. Moreover, the John Cooper
Works Pack comes with the traction mode DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) added to
the standard-fitted stability system DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), as well as
EDLC (Electronic Differential Lock Control) - the electronically controlled
locking function for the driven axle differential. DTC mode, which is activated
at the touch of a button, raises the intervention thresholds of the stability
control technology, making it easier to pull away on loose sand or snow with a
degree of wheel spin. The system also allows controllable slip through the
driven wheels under particularly sporty cornering. The EDLC system assists a
sporty driving style when accelerating out of corners and sharp bends. In tight
corners it brakes a spinning driven wheel as required to enhance the car's
traction without adversely affecting its self-steering properties. And that
allows the driver to feed the car through corners more smoothly, as well as at
greater speed.
The interior components included in the John Cooper Works
Pack also play their part in creating a full-blooded driving experience. These
include John Cooper Works door entry strips and the John Cooper Works sports
leather steering wheel with red contrast stitching. Cars with a manual gearbox
are also kitted out with a John Cooper Works gearshift lever with red shift
pattern lettering and a leather gaiter with red contrast stitching. Customers
specifying a manual gearbox will also find the handbrake gaiter featuring red
contrast stitching.
The John Cooper Works Pack is available for all engine variants of the MINI
and MINI Convertible and can be combined with eight body colors. The
aerodynamics package included as part of the John Cooper Works Pack can also be
ordered on its own for the MINI John Cooper Works and MINI John Cooper Works
Convertible.
