MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS

The MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.70 s (100 km/h in 5.97 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.15 s, tripping the lights at 100.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.26 s, reaching 100 mph in 14.00 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Cooper JCW 231 PS

The 2015 MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,205 kg with 231 bhp, which works out at 191 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.35 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,902nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 100.5 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS 0-60 time?
The MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,902nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS quarter mile time?
14.15 s at 100.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.26 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS have?
231 bhp and 1,205 kg, which is 191 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 246 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS?
Closest here on pace: Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 (5.67 s), Infiniti IPL G Convertible 3.7 V6 343 (5.68 s), BMW 330i E90 272 PS (5.65 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The MINI Cooper JCW 231 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
