MINI John Cooper Works

The MINI John Cooper Works reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.26 s, tripping the lights at 98.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.28 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 John Cooper Works

The 2008 MINI John Cooper Works is a front-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,130 kg with 208 bhp, which works out at 184 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.32 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,805th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 23 MINIs here. Its 98.6 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.

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 John Cooper Works 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.
