That's a prototype for the new high performance MINI we will see in around a years time. The MINI Cooper S JCW.
The production car of the current Concept. And when you look at the concept minus the Highways Grey exclusive paintwork (Although a more manageable option will come) to the production car they are exactly the same.

So in essence BMW want to provide JCW with a MINI interpretation of the BMW M philosophy. Which means at the beginning start with a very good chassis and the new MINI is exactly what you want from a MINI but there is few surprises which enhance rather than inhibit.

So with JCW we are looking at more performance , enhanced dynamics and a level of exclusivity in specific areas and this will all be driven from the front wheels.

This car will be high on many "can't wait to drive" lists when it arrives early next year.
