MINI is excited to announce that the MINI John Cooper Works Countryman will be available in the fall of 2012. The John Cooper Works Countryman combines the ultimate sport racing components with all-wheel drive on the Countryman model.
Roaring to life with a new four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the John Cooper Works Countryman delivers 211 horsepower to the driver’s fingertips. With MINI’s ALL4 all-wheel drive, the new MINI is ready to take on any terrain or weather element thrown its direction. The John Cooper Works Countryman is the first John Cooper Works model to have an optional six-speed automatic transmission rather than the standard six-speed manual.
As drivers turn each corner and maneuver in the new Countryman, the suspension is ready to flow with every movement of the vehicle and give the great agility they are known for. The John Cooper Works Countryman jumps off the line, going 0 to 62 mph in 7.1 seconds and early European fuel economy tests show that it will attain 39.2 mpg. Chassis design on the new Countryman incorporates a front axle with MacPherson struts, central-arm rear axle, Electric Power Steering, and a high-performance braking system.
Stay tuned for more information as we approach fall 2012 with the release of the John Cooper Works Countryman.
