World Premier: MINI JCW Convertible
The MINI JCW Convertible is here. MINI has launched the new convertible with the European press and as is customary as dropped a wordy press release (where you’ll find phrases such as “thrilling performance”) a bunch of great photography.
As one might expect the JCW Convertible is a direct application of the JCW bits and pieces to the F57 chassis. We loved the new F57 after driving it around LA last February and we can expect to love the JCW version even more. Key features are the 228 hp 2.0L JCW engine, JCW seats, large JCW brakes, sport suspension and exclusive exterior and interior colors.
We’ll have driving impressions but MINI’s new drop-top soon but our love of convertibles has been unabated since driving across country a few years back in a R57 JCW convertible – top down the entire way. It was a constant assault of everything that’s great about motoring. Open air across beautiful countryside with a car that constantly felt great in my hands and under my foot. While the convertible often gets overlooked by the hardcore enthusiasts, it’s really a rare blend of performance comfort and open element motoring. And for us at MF it represents something rare in the automotive world and special in the range.
Read on for the full European launch press release and some fantastic photos.
