kit for the MINI Cooper S from John Cooper Works again helps to
optimise the performance of the British favourite. 154 kW at 6,950 rpm
transforms the MINI Cooper S into a sports car that leaves many of its
rivals standing as its chrome-plated dual exhaust tailpipe disappears
into the distance. With only the discreet JCW badge to hint at the
potential performance, other motorists are unlikely to realise that
under that familiar body, there's a whole new 'beast'. A kit that
produces 245 Nm at 4,500 rpm, has in-gear acceleration from 80 to 120
km/h in 5.4 seconds (in 4th gear), and sprints to 100 km/h in 6.6
seconds from standstill, with a top speed of 230 km/h. Outstanding MINI
qualities - maximum wheelbase, maximum track width, optimum weight
distribution - form the perfect foundation for the awesome cornering
qualities. The extraordinary power output of the engines tuned by John
Cooper Works for the MINI Cooper S further enhances the car's
performance for ultimate driving pleasure. This new tuning kit marks a
benchmark in technology for the driver as well as stimulating the
senses of onlookers as they see it nip through town, hearing the sound
of the air intake, the high revs and the exhaust. Excellent
road-handling gives a drive as if on rails - nothing could describe a
John Cooper Works MINI Cooper S more aptly. High-end technology
package from the racing professional: 96 kW per litre cubic capacity.
The unparalleled flair of the John Cooper Works tuning kit for the MINI
Cooper S is the result of decades of experience gained in international
racing, skill in precision mechanics and state-of-the-art technology.
Dedicated technicians employed at John Cooper Works have created a
vehicle with a completely unique character using tuning technology.

harmonised with each other, and later subjected to stringent durability
tests in accordance with the most demanding international and BMW Group
standards. Importantly, a MINI Cooper S tuned by John Cooper Works will
always remain a vehicle suitable for everyday use, but with a raised
fun factor and increased performance. Drastically modified engine.
The basis of the new tuning kit for the MINI Cooper S is the new
supercharger, replacing the standard supercharger and operating at a
higher speed, thereby producing increased supercharging pressure. This
is the foundation of further modifications to the complete MINI Cooper
S engine, ensuring a balanced tuning performance as a whole. The air
filter is fitted with an additional air intake flap which opens at
4,500 rpm so the power unit with a higher compressor output is
adequately aspirated. A welcome side effect for sports-minded MINI
enthusiasts: what a sound! Just listen to the awesome acoustics of the
MINI Cooper S resulting from the additional air filter intake flap.
As an increased supercharging pressure requires an optimised flow
process inside the cylinder head, the inlet and outlet ports were
adapted to suit the changed conditions, a result of two years of
development. New high-power spark plugs, injectors with higher
throughput and adapted engine management ensure efficient combustion
and optimum fuel consumption that, considering the enhanced
performance, is moderate at 8.6 l/100 km in an ECE cycle. This
complies with EU 4 standard. With the optimised rear silencer, the
exhaust backpressure has been adapted to suit the changed conditions.
Power only discreetly perceivable from the outside. John Cooper Works
give an impressive exterior show with optional features like the sports
suspension, 18-inch rims and high-grade aero-kit add-on parts, but when
it comes to the tuning kit, the focus is mainly on inner values. The
only implications of what is concealed inside are the slanting,
larger-dimensioned dual exhaust tailpipes and a discreet John Cooper
Works emblem on tailgate and front apron. Inside the engine compartment
the new air filter housing and a silver-finished engine cover hint at
the fact that this one powerful MINI. Comprehensive John Cooper Works
tests - maintaining the MINI warranty. The impressive performance
produced by the MINI Cooper S with the John Cooper Works tuning kit is
the result of a development process lasting several years. The tuning
kit has been rigorously and comprehensively tested in compliance with
stringent John Cooper Works and BMW Group standards. These extensive
testing cycles, component tests and approval procedures come from years
of motor racing and tuning experience, during which, a total distance
of 240,000 kilometres was covered, 30,000 of them at high speeds. The
tests ensure not only the highest possible degree of passenger safety,
but are also a condition for the full maintenance of the MINI
warranty's validity, facilitating sales by MINI dealers worldwide.
6,000 tuning kits since the spring of 2003. Upgrade kit for previous
147 kW version. Since introducing the John Cooper Works tuning kit in
spring 2003, 6,000 cars have been fitted with the kit worldwide,
significantly exceeding expectations of the target 3,000. To stay ahead

the size of their toys": The full John Cooper Works range for MINI.
Subtle expressions such as "the difference between men and boys is
the size of their toys" undoubtedly form part of the success story
which, like MINI and John Cooper Works, with its origins in England has
spread across the entire globe. John Cooper Works offers motorists not
only the tuning kit for the MINI Cooper S, but also a comprehensive
range of optional high-performance parts for inside and outside, as
well as additional kits for individualising MINI cars to personal
taste. Where technically feasible, they are available across the entire
MINI model range (MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S and respective
convertible versions). All John Cooper Works components are perfectly
harmonised each offering a well-balanced overall package. John Cooper
Works sports suspension, sports brake system. (Optional) The optional
John Cooper Works sports suspension brings any MINI up to 15mm nearer
the road. The centre of gravity is also lowered and spring travel
becomes shorter. Firm, red lacquered coil springs are a visual
indication of what can be expected - namely even better road holding,
more agility and unlimited driving fun. Likewise, the optional John
Cooper Works sports brake system does full justice to the excellent
driving dynamics provided by the MINI. Featuring larger brake discs at
the front and special brake pads on the rear axle, they are especially
designed to deal with high thermal strain. Like the coil springs
featured on the sports suspension, the brake callipers are red,
co-ordinating with the John Cooper Works light-alloy rims. On the
whole, the new sports brake system is a crucial improvement in safety,
providing facilitating consistent well-balanced acceleration and
stopping power. The John Cooper Works 18-inch light-alloy wheels Star
Spoke R95 put the finishing touch to the MINI's sporty looks, giving
each model a significantly "light-footed" appearance. The
legend lives on. John Cooper Works: More than 50 years of dedication to
motorsport. Like MINI, the name Cooper has been synonymous with cars
and motorsport from the UK for decades. Founded in the late forties by
Charles and his son John Cooper, the Cooper Car Company soon became the
leading and largest maker of automobiles for professional motor racing.
Racing cars sporting a rear engine - these days perfectly acceptable -
was an idea originally conceived by the Cooper Car Company. Initially a
target of ridicule, particularly in the USA ("the engine is at the
wrong end"), Cooper rear-engine racing cars won both the
constructor and driver world championships in 1959 and 1960. Over the
past 50 years, almost every motor racing legend turned to Cooper, be it
Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Jackie Stewart or Juan Manuel Fangio.
Since the launch of the first Mini, both brands have been intrinsically
linked. Following successes in Formula 1 racing, John Cooper became
involved in rally sports. The small, agile Mini was an ideal candidate
to give its established rivals some fierce competition. The victories
seized by Mini in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967 became
legendary. However, the Mini Cooper and the Mini Cooper S were also
extremely popular on the road, strengthening the original Mini's
reputation of being agile with awesome driving dynamics. From the
beginning, MINI has welcomed the involvement of Mike Cooper, John
Cooper's son, and his company in the development of new,
high-performance models. Each MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works
tuning kit is a result of the dedication and the experience of a
company and of personalities who have set milestones in motorsport for
decades. Technical specifications John Cooper Works Tuning Kit:
