John Cooper Works Tuning Kit. 154 kW/ 210 bhp tuning kit for the MINI Cooper S.

Munich/ East Preston, UK. John Cooper Works has launched a new tuning
kit, transforming the MINI Cooper S into the fastest and most powerful
MINI on the road. The power package is distributed exclusively by John
Cooper Works, based in West Sussex and MINI dealers worldwide. MINI
Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertibles from any year of manufacturer
are suitable for modification. MINI Cooper S - with acceleration from
0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 230 km/h. The new tuning
kit for the MINI Cooper S from John Cooper Works again helps to excel
the performance of the British favourite. 154 kW/ 210 bhp 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 the familiar body, a JCW kit lurks. 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 cars performance for ultimate
driving pleasure. This new tuning kit marks a benchmark in technology
for the driver as well as stimulating the senses of passer-bys 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/130 bhp 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. High-quality
components and systems are developed and perfectly harmonized 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 super
charger, 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 a
sports suspension, 18-inch rims and high-grade carbon 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 give
indication to the most powerful of MINIs. 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/ 200 bhp 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
with previously available tuning kits, John Cooper Works is offering an
upgrade kit (for existing 200 bhp Works owners), comprising of an air
filter and modified injectors producing a 7kW/10 bhp increase in output.
"...is 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 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 One, MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S
and respective convertible versions). All John Cooper Works components
are perfectly harmonized each offering a well-balanced overall package.
Of course, we haven't forgotten the kids: Would-be racing drivers can
buzz around the home test track between their room and the patio in a
1:18 scale version of a John Cooper Works MINI Cooper S. They will also
love the cool-looking John Cooper Works team baseball caps and
T-shirts. For your ears only: John Cooper Works Sound Kit for the MINI
Cooper. The John Cooper Works sound kit for the MINI Cooper does not
replace the car stereo system. However, should the automatic station
search have trouble coping with the MINI Cooper's zest for zooming
round bends, the sound kit is definitely the answer. A special
connection between the air filter and the interior guarantees listening
enjoyment. There is also a modest kick noticeable at the wheel.
Together with modified engine management software and a high-grade
steel sports exhaust system, boasting a John Cooper Works embossing,
the sound kit boosts power output by 2 kW/3 bhp. The MINI Cooper with
the sound kit produces 87 kW/118 bhp. Customer get a certificate signed
personally by Mike Cooper confirming the authenticity of the John Cooper
Works components fitted. The sound kit is due to be available by the
end of 2004. John Cooper Works sports suspension, sports brake system,
sports seats. The 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. The new 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 sports brake system will be
available for all MINIs at the end of 2004. In 1967 Rauno Aaltonen, an
elder statesman of rally driving, accomplished his victory in the Monte
Carlo Rally driving an original Mini, after already having participated
in 1964 and 1965. This is a real car for Rauno Aaltonen and he knows
more than just PS. Between the shoulder blades and the backs of the
knees sports-minded drivers have their main reflexes required for
perfect driving mastery, and the larger the man to machine contact
surface is, the better. So "Move your body close to me" is
the motto when referring to John Cooper Works sports seats. They cling
to the driver and front passenger like a tailor-made glove, right down
to the extendable thigh support which, along with the seat-heating, is
optional. John Cooper Works sports seats are available in a range of
colours and upholstery materials (fabric and leather). Lumbar support
and rear-seat easy-entry feature are standard. Rear seats with sports
styling are also available as an option, the design of which, of
course, fully matches the driver's/front passenger's seat. Those who
like race car rigidity will go for the optional cross-brace featured in
the engine compartment. The rigid link between the spring strut pivotal
points on the front axle prevents even the slightest chassis movement
when driving the car to its limits. 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. Carbon for the interior and
exterior. John Cooper Works offers a range of high-grade carbon parts
to underline the overall sporting flair of the MINI and add an extra
touch of colour. Air intake on the bonnet (MINI Cooper S only),
rearview mirror covers and tailgate handle are available in this
exclusive lightweight material, and the inside of the car can be
upgraded with the co-ordinating interior trim. The rear roof spoiler
will be available from the end of 2004. Also made of carbon, it will be
a technologically aesthetic enhancement on any MINI. Welcome to the
club: MINI Clubsport racing series powered by John Cooper Works. The
MINI Clubsport racing series already exists in several countries.
Identically equipped MINI Cooper S cars fitted with the John Cooper
Works tuning kit a wheel to wheel fight for race track glory. The MINI
Clubsport racing series is an ideal opportunity for amateurs with motor
racing ambitions and petrol running through their veins, a great
experience for drivers and spectators alike. 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, 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
