MINI Roadster JCW

The MINI Roadster JCW reaches 60 mph in 6.06 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.64 s, tripping the lights at 95.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s and the eighth mile in 9.45 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 Roadster JCW

The 2012 MINI Roadster JCW is a front-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,185 kg with 208 bhp, which works out at 175 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.31 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 1,981st quickest to 60 mph, and the 6th quickest of the 23 MINIs here. Its 95.1 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MINI Roadster JCW 0-60 time?
The MINI Roadster JCW reaches 60 mph in 6.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,981st quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Roadster JCW quarter mile time?
14.64 s at 95.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.45 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s.
How much power does the MINI Roadster JCW have?
208 bhp and 1,185 kg, which is 175 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 237 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Roadster JCW?
Closest here on pace: Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) (6.00 s), Abarth 124 Spider (6.18 s), Toyota MR2 GT (5.95 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Roadster JCW in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Roadster JCW is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
