New Mini John Cooper Works Aceman & Electric to debut at 2024 Paris Motor Show
MINI has officially announced that it will introduce the John Cooper Works (JCW) models, the all-electric JCW Aceman and JCW Electric, at the 2024 Paris Motor Show. Both models are set to redefine performance for the brand, producing up to 258PS. The motor show runs from 14 to 20 October. Mini's new JCW models are inspired by the brand's motorsport legacy, which includes iconic victories at the Monte Carlo Rally in the 1960s. The development of these electric models is seen as a continuation of John Cooper's vision, transferring racetrack technology to the road.
Both electric JCW models feature a power output of up to 258PS and torque rated at 350Nm. The JCW Electric can sprint from zero to 100kmph in 5.9 seconds, while the JCW Aceman achieves the same in 6.4 seconds. Both models boast a top speed of 200kmph.
Powered by a 54.2kWh battery pack, the JCW Electric offers a WLTP range of up to 371km, while the JCW Aceman delivers up to 355km on a single charge. Both models feature a boost function, providing an additional 27PS of power when activated, resulting in quick overtakes.
2025 Mini JCW Design & Interior
Mini says that the JCW models have been designed with a focus on aerodynamics and sporty aesthetics. The vehicles feature the iconic John Cooper Works badges on the high-gloss black octagonal grille, along with black side skirts and aerodynamically optimised rear spoilers. They also feature LED headlights with JCW Signature bars and optional Chili Red roof or a multi-tone gradient roof. Wheel sizes include a set of 18-inch for the JCW Electric and 19-inch for the JCW Aceman
Inside, both models have a minimalist and race-inspired design with a dual-tone black and red dashboard theme. The cabin also gets ambient lighting, OLED display, synthetic leather and knitted fabric upholstery paired with red stitching.
Mini has bestowed the new JCW Aceman and Electric with a range of ADAS functions alongside a Parking Assistant Professional. Then, the optional Mini Navigation package provides real-time traffic updates, 3D maps, and augmented reality support for parking.
