The 2014 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 217 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,405 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 153 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.09 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,500th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 15th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 92.8 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.
