MINI announces availability of John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the new MINI Cooper S

In addition, the MINI brand has even more John Cooper Works components on offer for fans, including a sports chassis and numerous options in the accessory range designed to quicken the pulse and put motor racing passion into everyday driving.

With the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit for the MINI Cooper S, the output of the 1.6 litre twin scroll turbo engine is increased to an impressive 141 kW/192 bhp, with maximum torque up to 250 Newton metres in the engine speed range between 1750 and 5000 rpm. With the overboost function, the torque level can even be increased temporarily to 270 Nm for powerful acceleration in the engine speed range from 1750 to 4500 rpm.

'The John Cooper Works components on offer are enough to set the heart racing of aficionados of the new MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S,' said Raymond Gedeon, MINI Brand Manager, BMW Group Middle East. 'The Works Tuning Kit inputs more power and more individuality into the MINI than ever before. Not only does it enhance the dynamic potential of the new MINI Cooper S, but also increases its charismatic sporty appeal.'

The sporty look of the new MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S can be further refined with the appropriate ingredients from the John Cooper Works collection. The sports chassis not only ensures even more agile handling, but also lowers the suspension by 10 millimetres. In keeping with this, John Cooper Works provides an aerodynamic body kit in body colour - consisting of a front and rear apron and side sills - as well as 18-inch light alloy wheels in various versions.

These can be ideally combined with other numerous features from the John Cooper Works accessory range to enhance the car's sporting spirit, such as aerodynamic packages in body colour, a John Cooper Works carbon roof spoiler, John Cooper Works sports seats, the John Cooper Works sports steering wheel and selected equipment components made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic.
