The discontinued MINI John Cooper Works welcomes a fully electric version

The Goodwood Festival of Speed, the emblematic British event for motor enthusiasts, will be the perfect stage for the dynamic debut of the MINI John Cooper Works E PROtotype. This electric prototype marks a historic milestone for the brand, representing the first foray of MINI John Cooper Works into the world of electromobility.

Inspired by the victory of the Mini Cooper S at the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo, the MINI John Cooper Works E PROtotype features a distinctive camouflage designed by the MINI Design Team. This unique pattern, together with the emblematic “37” logo, symbolizes the brand’s rich sporting heritage while maintaining innovation in every model.

Beyond its striking aesthetics, the MINI John Cooper Works E PROtotype houses an advanced electric powertrain that promises exciting and sustainable performance. Although MINI has not yet revealed specific details about power output or range, we can expect figures worthy of the sporting legacy of John Cooper Works.

The debut of the MINI John Cooper Works E PROtotype at Goodwood not only represents a milestone for the brand, but also offers an exciting vision of the future of electric driving. This prototype demonstrates MINI’s commitment to innovation and its bet on a more sustainable future, without giving up the sportiness and driving pleasure that characterise the brand.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will take place from 11 to 14 July 2024, will be the perfect stage to witness the electrifying performance of the MINI John Cooper Works E PROtotype. Motor enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a unique display of this prototype’s capabilities on the iconic hill climb.

Yet to be confirmed

As we have already mentioned, none of this data is official, but the fully electric three-door MINI with the best specifications is expected to produce up to 250 CV from an electric motor mounted at the front and powered by a battery of around 50 kWh.

This data is not official. The standard MINI Cooper SE offers 218 CV and a 54.2 kWh battery that allows it to cover 400 km on a full charge. MINI will probably use the same battery to power a slightly more powerful electric motor at the front, while adjusting the chassis to enhance the go-kart feel for which the brand’s models are known.
