We haven’t heard about a proper modified MINI model for quite some time, but now, the brand is getting all the attention from one-off AC Schnitzer tuner.
AC Schnitzer are well-known for their professional tuning programs and their latest project added to their portfolio is a power upgrade carried out on this outstanding MINI JCW.
It involves the fitting of new body and mechanical goodies, along with a hefty dosage of adrenaline underneath its skin.
The way they have worked their magic on other models, the technicians from AC Schnitzer have first installed some tweaks, including a front splitter, new dampers with electronic control, adding new lowering springs and new exhaust system with sport rear muffler.
To make things complete, the engineers have also added a new set of light alloy wheels, finished in black and which provide the model with a proper attitude.
But the best part is the fine tune under the hood. For this particular model, AC Schnitzer chose a power kit that would make it extremely fast on the road. We are dealing here with a power kit which increases the car`s performance from 231 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque to a good 265 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque.
Equipped with the new kit, the MINI JCW by AC Schnitzer is now capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds, which is pretty impressive. Also, the power kit comes with a 100,000 km warranty, covering much of the engine parts.
