Under the hood is what matters with the John Cooper Works model and this time it’s powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and 236 lb-ft. of torque. This means that the 2016 John Cooper Works is the most powerful production MINI ever.
With the six-speed automatic transmission it only takes 6.1 seconds to reach 62 mph, while its a few ticks slower at 6.3 seconds with the six-speed manual.
