T H E PA R I S A U T O S H O W MINI John Cooper Works Clubman The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman is the biggest of its kind in the brand’s model program. Distributed as needed between the front and rear wheels in every situation thanks to ALL4, the drive torque is generated by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology and model-specific modifications derived from motor racing. With a peak output of 170  kW/231  hp and a maximum torque of 350 Newton metres, this engine accelerates the new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman from zero to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, with both the standard 6-speed manual transmission and the optional 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission.
