Press Release Body: Pleasanton, CA <10/18/2008>: East Bay MINI
(http://www.eastbaymini.com/) has announced the debut of the 2009 JCW (John Cooper
Works) MINI Cooper cars at this year's Geneva show.
About the 2009 JCW MINI models:
Upon introduction, the factory-built 2009 JCW MINI cars will deliver more power,
torque and better handling. The three-door JCW MINI vehicles are equipped with a
revamped engine similar to that of the John Cooper Works Challenge Series cars. The
engine produces 207-horsepower at 6000 rpm and 192 pound-feet of torque between 1850
and 5600 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission handles excessive torque. The JCW MINI
cars accelerate to 62 mph in just 6.5 seconds, while the larger Clubman takes 6.8
seconds. Both these body styles are capable of reaching 148 mph.
Engine internals are beefed up to sustain additional output and heat. A sport-button
changes the electric-assisted steering to a sporty program with higher steering
torque and changes the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal. A standard sport
suspension can be augmented with optional harder dampers and stronger front and rear
stabilizers. An optional John Cooper Works chassis lowers the car and replaces the
dampers with harder ones.
Enhancements inside the 2009 JCW MINI cars include an anthracite headliner and gloss
piano black trim. On the exterior, these cars sport lighter rims, brakes and
distinctive 17-inch alloy wheels that weigh less than 22 pounds each.
The complete line of Mini options and accessories along with John Cooper Works
performance and appearance parts will now be available on JCW cars. Prior to the
manufacturer's purchase of the John Cooper Works brand, JCW devices were available
as a dealer-installed option on MINI models.
