JAKARTA - Mini announced that it will launch an electric version of the John Cooper Works (JCW) model for the first time. This car has a more modern style change and different powertrains, but still prioritizes driving fun.

Launching from the BMW Group page, Friday, July 5, this model, called Mini John Cooper Works E, will be launched at the end of the year by world premiere. However, the manufacturer first took him to the Goodwood Festival of Speed which will be held on 11-14 July.

This Hatchback will go public on Goodwood with a red base camouflage sticker with some distinctive white patterns. The car will appear with the '37' number used by the brand to win the Rallye Monte Carlo 60 years ago.

With the presence of this model, it also complements the line of John Cooper Works which not only provides gasoline-engined vehicles but also electric vehicles.

Unfortunately, the brand has not disclosed the specifications of this model. It is estimated that the performance of this car has an enhanced power compared to a number of models from JCW, such as Cooper SE JCW.

As an illustration, Mini Cooper SE JCW has a single electric motor measuring 215 dk and a 330 Nm torque that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hour in just 6.7 seconds.

For the battery, the manufacturer gives it a 54.2 kWh battery capable of reaching a range of up to 402 km and can be charged from 10 to 80 percent within 30 minutes with a fast charger of 95 kW.

The minimum JCW E is expected to adopt the same exterior color as the SE JCW, which is wrapped with a traditional red, white and black color scheme that has a plaid flag symbol on the front goal as well as highlighting the legacy of motorsport on this brand.
