The 2016 MINI John Cooper Works Concept was first revealed at this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The newest JCW proved to be quicker and more powerful than any model before it.
The MINI John Cooper Works revealed in Detroit featured larger air inlets, an updated front grille, a new diffuser, and a new, more powerful four cylinder. As it turns out, the 2016 JCW is the most powerful MINI ever produced.
New spy shots released by TopSpeed suggest that a 2016 JCW convertible version is well on its way to production. Presumably in the testing phase, a camouflaged 2016 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible has been spotted out and about. The performance-oriented convertible will likely see an official reveal in the next few months, possibly as soon as the New York Auto Show in April, ultimately finding its way into dealerships just in time for the 2016 model year.
Though no official details have been released, we can speculate that the JCW convertible will be similar to the John Cooper Works coupe, which is already in production. The hardtop JCW features black wheel arches, JCW logos, body-colored side skirts, black stripes with Chili Red lines, and a brand new Rebel Green Metallic exterior paint, an exclusive to the JCW line. We would expect most of these features to carry over to the convertible, though only time will tell.
