The sky’s the limit for the John Cooper Works Convertible. A distinctive hexagonal mesh front grille and optional bonnet stripes show what it’s all about. The central twin tailpipe twin exhausts gleam at the rear. This is aggression coupled with sporting style. On the inside the optional colour line in Hot Chocolate provides a touch of elegant understatement.

With all that driving fun to go round, it's a good job the MINI Convertible was made to seat four.

Designed for top performances, the engine impresses with its overwhelming traction. Every component has to withstand extreme tests before it earns the title "John Cooper Works." The result is boost pressure ripe for the racetrack with tremendously powerful pistons and valves. They drive the 1.6-litre direct injection engine to its maximum. Overboost raises the torque to 207 ft/lb at 2,000-5,100 rpm. Restraint? It's practically impossible.

The self-assured cornering of this car is equally matched by its breathtaking acceleration on the straights. The MINI John Cooper Works Convertible offers an intense experience of open-top driving beyond compare. If you need to cool off quickly: in just 6.5 seconds it accelerates to 100 km/h, reaching a top speed of 236 km/h.
