Don’t let the lively looks deceive you: this is not a John Cooper Works (JCW), but a modified MINI Cooper SE.
A custom project that bears the owner’s name on the roof, it has OctaneFactory and Barracuda Racing Wheels behind it and wears a sporty body kit.
Inspired by the JCW GP, this Cooper SE has a more prominent front apron, black grilles in front of the fog lamps, new rear bumper with exclusive trim on the outer edges, a diffuser with incorporated reflectors and yellow stickers in the middle, where the exhaust pipes would sit in the hot ICE-powered MINI, and a large rear wing.

The multi-color wrap and new 8.5×19-inch Barracuda wheels wrapped in 225/35 tires, as well as a lowered ground clearance courtesy of KW’s coilover kit, complete the exterior design of the project.
The cockpit features a pair of bucket seats, wrapped in black leather up front. The modified Cooper SE no longer has a rear seat, as a roll bar was added for increased protection.
Mind you, this is a case of all show, no extra go, as the electric hatchback’s powertrain remains unmodified. Thus, the electric motor, which is powered by a 32.6 kWh battery pack, generates 181 HP and 199 lb-ft (270 Nm) of torque. As a result, the Cooper SE needs 6.9 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) and has a 93 mph (150 km/h) top speed.
