The first images and details of the high-performance Mini Paceman JCW (John Cooper Works) leaked over the web today. As you probably expect, the Mini Paceman JCW is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine equipped with direct injection, which is good for 218 PS and 280 Nm of torque (300 Nm with overboost). We speculate that with this engine, the Paceman John Cooper Works is able to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in around 7 seconds and that it's able to reach a top speed of just under 155 mph (250 km/g). Mini's JCW Paceman is probably equipped with a stiffer suspension and bigger brakes. It's obvious from the images that it has a distinctive body kit, which includes new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a roof spoiler.
It also comes with a new exhaust system with two large round tailpipes (left and right). The top of the range Mini Paceman comes with the traditional JCW livery, as well as with all the JCW badges you'd want.
The Paceman JCW comes with a two-tone interior in black with red accents, and sport leather seats. We'll have more details about the Mini Paceman JCW as soon as they're available.
