JCW MINI Cooper S and Clubman


Here is a video of the John Cooper Works editions of the MINI Cooper S and Clubman tearing it up around a racetrack for what appears to be a promotional clip.

The two JCW models go side by side and take turns in clipping apexes, exchanging lead/chase car positions etc. as they complete a hot-lap around the racetrack. The video is a great advertisement for the JCW exhaust system with both models emitting a lovely, meaty exhaust note as the driver gives the gearbox a good workout.





Local prices for the fastest Australian delivered MINIs have just been announced with the JCW Cooper S starting from $48,800 and the JCW Clubman from $51,300. Customers who have parted with their hard-earned can expect their new 'toys' to be delivered sometime in August.
