What began as an alliance to turn the humble Mini into a racing
champion, MINI John Cooper Works is built for drivers who demand the
ultimate in performance engineering and styling. Today, MINI
celebrates the heart of driving excitement – the manual transmission -
with the launch of the new MINI John Cooper Works 1to6 Edition
(combined fuel consumption: 6.9 — 6.6 l/62 miles; combined CO2
emissions: 157 — 151 g/km in accordance with WLTP).
“The MINI John Cooper Works models have their roots in
motorsport. With the MINI John Cooper Works 1to6 Edition, we are
celebrating MINI's legendary motorsport history and maximizing the
brand-typical driving experience,” says Stefanie Wurst, Head of MINI.
Available with six-speed manual transmission and stainless-steel
pedals as standard – together deriving the model’s name – the 1to6
Edition offers motorists an authentic, unfiltered driving experience.
Powered by a John Cooper Works 4-cylinder petrol engine with MINI
TwinPower Turbo Technology, delivering 231 hp, the limited run model
accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 6.3 seconds.
Offered as a fixed specification, the 1to6 Edition is finished
in Midnight Black Metallic paint, further complimented by a Piano
Black exterior trim, Jet Black 18” Circuit Spoke alloy wheels and
Darkened Rear Glass. An edition-specific centre-running Bonnet Stripe
– featuring a repeated manual transmission graphic – spans the length
of the vehicle. Bespoke 1to6 Edition badging found on the C-pillar,
side scuttles and at the rear of the vehicle completes the exterior design.
Moving inside, the same emblem decorates the door sills, floor
mats and features on the lower spoke of the Nappa leather sports
steering wheel, whilst a 3D embossed variant is etched into passenger
side trim using a subtle tone-on-tone design. “One of 999” lettering –
also embossed – to the left of the steering wheel and printed on
Panoramic Sunroof highlight the exclusivity of the model.
Red accents are found throughout the cockpit, including the
leather stitching on the gear shift, ambient lighting and the glowing
bezel surrounding the central instrument. The edition is rounded off
by a special key cap embellished with the 1to6 logo-design.
The 1to6 Edition boasts a high level of specification including,
Heated Front Seats, Electric Folding Door Mirrors, Comfort Access,
Driving Assistance, Ambient Lighting, Reversing Camera and Parking
Assistant including Front and Rear Park Distance Control.
Standard technology comprises an 8.8” touch display with MINI
Navigation System, Apple Carplay, Wireless Charging, Head-up Display,
Harman Kardon Surround Sound, and a Digital Dashboard.
Priced at £39,600 OTR with 999 units available globally but
limited to just 150 in the UK, the MINI John Cooper Works 1to6 Edition
is available to order from retailers now and will world premiere at
the Nürburgring 24-hour race on May 20, 2023.
