_Need A Bit More Pounce In Your CUV? Mini Has A JCW For That_
As part of the ongoing master plan at Mini to attract distinction-seeking
buyers who still have some disposable income left, we present the Mini
Countryman Cooper S All4 John Cooper Works: the Mini CUV with the mighty long
name.
This latest Mini JCW will get its world premiere at this March’s Geneva Motor
Show, but we’ve just enjoyed a pre-holiday drive in the remote mountain lair
of Kuhtai, 6,600 feet up in the Austrian Alps. As you’d expect, there was snow
and rocks and animal skin sweat lodges and hot wine, but the Countryman All4
JCW got us out of there and back to our families in the flatlands. Our drive
consisted of a two-lane road loop with plenty of overtaking chances and a
decently long off-road _parcours _etched into a local abandoned ski hill.
Thus far, Mini’s strongest JCW model has been gifted with a 208-horsepower
version of the BMW/PSA turbocharged 1.6-liter direct injection in-line four-
cylinder, dubbed “N18″ as it’s assembled at Mini’s Hams Hall UK factory. Head
