AD: Enjoy savings of up to RM32k when buying your favourite high-performance MINI John Cooper Works

If the MINI brand is synonymous with style, then MINI John Cooper Works surely equates to performance. Throughout history, MINI models christened with the iconic JCW badge offer greater driver engagement to appease thrill seekers, featuring a host of upgrades that make them look and feel as fast as they go.

The JCW brand started out life as an aftermarket tuning firm for regular, road-going MINI Coopers. It was founded in 2001 by Michael Cooper – son of John Cooper, the racing car maker and tuner responsible for the original Mini Cooper – before being bought over by BMW in 2008. Since then, MINI cars have became incrementally powerful, and they will only get quicker.

The typical upgrades that come with the famed John Cooper Works badge include beefier engine components, larger brakes, a raspier-sounding exhaust, suspension and chassis tweaks, as well as sportier exterior and interior trim enhancements. It’s safe to say that you’ll never find a dull-looking JCW model – it’s always dressed to impress, be it at a valet car park or around a racing circuit.
