From Mini Cooper to MINI Cooper
In 1959 the British public was introduced to the amazing Mini with the first Mini Cooper launched in 1961. The injection of John Coopers racing know-how created a world-beating fun, fast car that had few rivals. In 1970 Mini Cooper production came to an end. Years were to pass before demand and enthusiastic interest led to the Mini Cooper revival.

A history of winning

Formed in 1946 to design and produce the Cooper 500 Formula 3 racing car, the Cooper Car Company was an affordable way for amateurs to get into motor racing. The Cooper Car Company became the worlds first and largest post-war, specialist racing car manufacturer culminating in winning the Formula 1 Drivers and Constructors World Championships in 1959 and 1960 with Jack Brabham at the wheel. Soon after, Coopers went to Indianapolis

Tried and tested

From 35 degree heat in Southern France to minus 20 degrees in Scandinavia, from 20,000 miles of high-speed testing to 150,000 road miles of durability testing, the John Cooper Works tuning kit has been meticulously put through its paces. Development testing was conducted at world-class engineering facilities throughout the world including Spa, Goodwood and Miramas (the BMW Williams test track) was used extensively. The development was carried out using the latest test techniques, processes, tools and facilities as used by vehicle manufacturers and racing teams.

Naturally, the MINI Cooper tuned by John Cooper Works stands out on the road, but the John Cooper Works side and rear chrome enamel badging and the engine bay plate with unique car number also ensures that it stands out equally well when stationary.
Each JCW component is an integral part of the whole. Matched and balanced, together they combine to deliver the breathtaking performance and handling that discerning MINI Cooper drivers require, together with responsible fuel consumption, emissions and noise levels.

JCW cylinder head

Two years of cylinder head development, using full 3D computeraided design (CAD) were initially needed to get the performance John Cooper Works demanded. Using this CAD data, the heads are fully CNC machined. This ensures the highest standards of accuracy, repeatability and performance. Statistical data taken from the production of many cylinder heads and blocks enabled the compression ratio to be optimised within the limits of performance, engine calibration and production tolerances.

JCW exhaust system

The exhaust system has been developed to give optimum performance and superb interior and exterior sound quality.

THE VITALS

Using real-time data from the engine and thousands of maps and constants, all engine control functions including combustion airflow, fuelling and spark advance have been optimised. The result is lively throttle response and increased acceleration when overtaking in the all-important mid-range torque band.

In addition to the individual component tests, the John Cooper Works tuning kit has been functionally checked and validated using extensive test cycles and sign-off procedures.
