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.
