The dual-car interior design follows MINI’s philosophy of simplicity. The design remains consistent. The red and black knitted center console and the solid or gradient roof enhance the sporty feel. Racing flag elements are integrated. The round OLED central screen serves as the interaction hub. It features a new MINI operating system, supporting voice control and personalization. Physical buttons are minimal, used for gear control and starting functions.
The seats feature a red and black sporty design. They blend digital elements with the driving experience.
The power system is the key selling point of the new electric MINI JCW. Both models feature a motor with a maximum power of 190 kilowatts. The electric BOOST function provides an extra 20 kilowatts during acceleration.
The chassis features optimized wheel camber and kingpin inclination. The vehicle’s center of gravity lowers by 3.8 centimeters. It integrates the DIVC digital brain for chassis control and includes the ARB acceleration-limited stability control system. The dual vehicle undergoes JCW-specific tuning for the chassis and suspension. The shock absorbers and electronic stability system receive over 18 weeks of tuning. The steering tuning exceeds 25 weeks. The goal is to replicate the go-kart-like handling of the fuel era.
