About the Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218

The 2010 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,505 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 143 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.17 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 3,563rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 18th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 90.9 mph at the lights is only the 4,842nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

What is the MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 quarter mile time?
14.85 s at 90.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 have?
215 bhp and 1,505 kg, which is 143 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 224 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse (6.25 s), Honda Civic Type-R FN2 (6.25 s), Alpina B10 3.0 Allrad (6.28 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 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 Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
