Extreme Driving Fun on Any Terrain: The MINI John Cooper Works Countryman

(continued from above)
The MINI John Cooper Works Countryman comes as standard with an aerodynamic
kit, lowered sports suspension, 18-inch light-alloy wheels and exclusive design
features. This is the first John Cooper Works model to also offer a six-speed
automatic gearbox as an option.
Powertrain and chassis technology developed on the back of vast motor sport
expertise, and the concept underpinning the first MINI with five doors and
four/five seats, merge to establish the customary handling characteristics and
appearance of John Cooper Works models in another new segment. The global
introduction of the MINI John Cooper Works will get under way in autumn 2012.
It soon becomes clear that the brand's first five-seater shares the racing genes
which define the character of every MINI - and John Cooper Works polishes these
inherent talents to dazzling effect. The new engine brings another hike in
output, transferred onto the road with impressive elan by ALL4 all-wheel drive.
And the John Cooper Works suspension ensures every change in direction is imbued
with addictive agility. The MINI John Cooper Works sprints from 0 to 60 mph in a
paltry 6.6 seconds, while average fuel consumption of 7.2 liters per 100
kilometers (39.2 mpg imp) in the EU test cycle represents an outstanding return
when you consider the performance on offer (performance and fuel consumption
figures are provisional).
The distinctive style of the sixth John Cooper Works model in the MINI line-up
is also expressed through the car's design, including the exclusive selection of
paint finishes, light-alloy wheels and interior materials available for order.
The MINI John Cooper Works Countryman is equipped as standard with an
aerodynamic kit, 18-inch light-alloy wheels, a sports exhaust system with chrome
tailpipes and door sills bearing the John Cooper Works logo. The color shade
Chili Red can be specified as a contrasting paint finish for the roof and
exterior mirrors. And Chili Red flourishes for the interior, such as in the
exclusive design of the sports seats, also add a distinctive flavor to the
sports car ambience carried over from the other John Cooper Works models.
The interior of the 2013 MINI John Cooper Works Countryman comes with additional sporting touches as standard.
