Thank you for considering my 2012 John Cooper Works MINI Coupe, the top of the line 208 HP coupe with a factory-modified turbocharged engine, JCW suspension, larger JCW wheels and tires, JCW four-wheel drilled Brembo brakes, JCW dual exhaust, JCW Sport and Performance and Cold Weather Packages, JCW badging and much, much more. Please do not compare my little go cart with the basic non-turbo Cooper coupe (168 HP/15 inch wheels) or the (188 HP/16 inch wheels) Cooper S coupe. Do not confuse this vehicle with a MINI coupe that offers the John Cooper Works Aero Package but not the stuff that really matters. I adore this car; it is as fast as the BMW M Roadster I owned a few years back, but the corners are where this coupe truly shines. MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension combine with anti-roll bars to give the MINI Coupe go-kart like handling. Silver White Metallic Paint with red racing stripes down the center, red top, 17-inch black wheels and Continental tires adorn this unique John Cooper Works coupe, and everything I just mentioned is in excellent (if not showroom) condition. No dents, dings, scratches or road rash...period. Every forward-facing body part is protected by Clear Bra, and I will never own another car that isn't. It has anti-lock brakes and 4-wheel drilled disc brakes, Dynamic Stability Control and every available performance and safety feature available from MINI except navigation. On the very rare occasions I use nav, I use the app on my phone. The Speed-sensitive electronic power steering is amplified in the Sport mode, as is the throttle response, so I drive almost exclusively in that mode...unless I am road-tripping and getting 38-39 miles per gallon at 65 miles per hour! This is the most unique, fun and best-engineered sports car I have ever owned. Better than my 2006 Honda S2000, my 2005 Nissan 350Z, my 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera, my 2002 BMW M Roadster, my 2006 BMW M Roadster or my original (first one sold in Utah) 2002 MINI Cooper S. This rare coupe has a little less that 25k miles and will enjoy free Mini Service through May of 2015 and full factory bumper-to-bumper warranty through May of 2016. I have included an exhaustive list of features and options below, but feel free to call me with any questions or comments. There are no/zero surprises with this car, so bid with confidence. Under some circumstances, I may be able to deliver the car to you. In response to a couple of questions I received about the VIN check showing 3 previous owners, please disregard that information. The VIN check is counting the dealership where I bought the car as the second owner, which can't be true since they never titled the coupe while it was in their possession and only put about 20 miles on it while they were in possession of it. If the number of owners was correct, the score on this car would be 97 instead of 94. Sorry about the confusion, but I am the second owner. You would be the third owner and, when the car is titled, the number of certified owners would be correct. Be advised that I previously listed this vehicle on ebay, but that deal didn't work out. This is a new posting with a lower price. Thanks, Mike 801.891.1938 Vehicle Description (including every option)

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
This classic electric Mini costs $100,000, but just look at it
Thu, Feb 14 2019We all love the original Mini, so when a British company decided to develop an electric version of it using a restored original body, we took notice. Enter the Swind E Classic Mini. Electric cars are allowed to have a soul, and this one is just as cute as a Mini with a little gas motor. Swind, a UK-based tech and engineering company, didn't just produce a half-baked version of an electric Mini. The powertrain is a bespoke, in-house design developed by the company's own engineers. The body has contemporary corrosion protection to make sure it doesn't rot like an original from the 1960s. Also, new brake and suspension parts ensure it'll feel relatively modern to drive. Don't expect any mind-blowing specs and numbers from the little EV, though. It uses a 24 kWh lithium ion battery pack and the electric motor produces 110 horsepower. Zero to 60 mph is achieved in 9.2 seconds. That's not impressive on today's world, bu is still quicker than this Mini would have been with its original gas engine. Top speed is 80 mph, and range is rated at an impressive 125 miles. That's plenty for this little city runabout — road trips won't be this Mini's job anyway, especially if you have to run it near top speed just to keep up with traffic. Swind says it'll get to a full charge in four hours via its fast charging capability. Weight is kept to only 1,587 pounds, so this will be one of the lightest electric cars on the road. The benefits of modernizing and electrifying the Mini help out in other areas, too. You can check option boxes for an infotainment system with navigation. USB ports come standard, as do heated leather seats. Curiously, air conditioning is an option. If you prefer no power steering, that's possible; performance tuning packs are available, but there's no explanation for what that entails. There's more space in the boot for stuff with the gas tank removed, and weight distribution is improved at a 57/43 split (it was 68/32 originally). Now we move onto the less desirable portion of this Mini: The price. Converted from pounds sterling, this Mini goes for $100,970. You can buy a whole lot of car for that money, or you can have an electric Mini. At least Swind is really building it, unlike the one-off shown by Mini at the NY Auto Show last year. Production is limited to only 100 cars that all come with a one-year unlimited-mile warranty.
Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket
Fri, Mar 18 2016If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
