The Mini John Cooper Works dresses up as a police car to bring justice to the streets of Germany

Police departments in many countries are known for their impressive fleet of vehicles, through which they dispense justice on the streets. The German police is one of those forces that has a range of vehicles capable of patrolling the country’s roads at high speed, but now a new member has joined the force. The Mini John Cooper Works -also known as JCW- has submitted its application and been successfully accepted, thus becoming a prized police car.

The British brand was reborn in 2001 under BMW and, since then, Mini has only grown and improved. The JCW variant is characterised by a tuning worthy of a sporty compact, and its performance not only makes it one of the fastest on the road, but also makes it the ideal candidate to chase down those criminals who make a habit of breaking the law.

The attractive, sporty styling of the Mini John Cooper Works is accentuated by the characteristic livery of the German police, which combines blue with bright yellow and grey. This way, the new officer on the force will be quickly recognisable, as they will be spotted from afar thanks to the new vinyl graphics and heard for kilometres thanks to its catchy siren soundtrack.

Let’s not forget that the JCW presents itself as the most radical variant in the Mini range, something it achieves thanks to its sporty mechanics and improved aerodynamics, two key factors for joining the police force. In this way, the small German compact will be an essential asset for keeping order on German streets, a task it will carry out successfully thanks to its dimensions, ideal for urban environments, and its tuning.

Under the bonnet of this souped-up Mini we find a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine capable of delivering 231 CV of power and 320 Nm of torque. With these figures, the most powerful Mini can reach 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 248 km/h, performance more than sufficient to stop any offender from escaping justice.

The Mini John Cooper Works was on display at RETTmobil 2018, which showcases various vehicles exclusive to emergency and security services in Germany . There, the police Mini drew plenty of attention, as it was presented as one of the most striking vehicles for enforcing safety regulations and pursuing those who try to evade them.
