New MINI John Cooper Works to Debut at Nürburgring

New MINI John Cooper Works to Debut at Nürburgring

MINI has announced that its latest John Cooper Works (JCW) model will make its debut at the iconic 24 Hours of Nürburgring and not simply as a show car. This grueling endurance race, known for its demanding nature, will see the new model take on the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife track from June 1-2.

The petrol-powered MINI JCW, sporting a bespoke camouflage created by the MINI Design Team, pays tribute to the classic red and white color schemes of 1960s Minis. This nod to MINI’s heritage is a testament to the brand’s commitment to blending tradition with modern innovation.

Set for its world premiere in the fall of 2024, the New MINI JCW represents a significant milestone. The racecar will feature a distinctive “37” logo, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Mini Cooper S’s victory at the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo, celebrating MINI’s storied motorsport legacy.

The New MINI JCW #317, entered by the private racing team Bulldog Racing from Nürburg, will compete in the SP 3T category. Dubbed the “MINI John Cooper Works PRO,” this Twin-Power Turbo racecar epitomizes the fusion of MINI’s iconic design and Bulldog Racing’s expertise.

Additionally, the beloved black MINI JCW #474, equipped with a manual transmission, will also compete. This car, which secured a podium finish at last year’s event in the VT-2 category, has proven its endurance racing capabilities.

For its commercial offering, the lineup will include both petrol and all-electric versions, with price and availability yet to be announced at the time of writing.
