Images of the new Mini Paceman John Cooper Works (JCW) have leaked on the web before the car’s official unveiling.
The JCW is a hotter version of the already available Paceman Cooper S that comes with a tweaked 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which should develop the same output as its sister model, the Countryman JCW.
In Europe, the Countryman JCW’s turbocharged unit delivers 215hp (218PS) and 280Nm (207 lb-ft), while in North American specification, these numbers drop to 208hp and 192 lb-ft (260Nm) respectively.
From these pictures, we see that the three-door crossover model sports an aero package with different bumpers, bespoke grille inserts, side skirts, bigger exhaust pipes and new alloy wheels, plus an assortment of upgrades inside including the body-hugging front seats and unique trims.
We still do not know if MINI will reveal the car at the Detroit auto show in January or the Geneva motor show in March next year.
