Fast, flamboyant and loads of fun – the red beret-sporting Mini Cooper S JCW Pro Edition is a distinguished gent.
It’s amazing what acronyms after your name can do for your reputation. Just ask Sir Andy Murray OBE, who’s gone from being Britain’s resident tennis champ to the youngest man to attain knighthood in modern-day Britain. But if it’s proper British icons we’re talking about, few can hold a candle to the Mini Cooper. And the only acronym or rank that the brand cares for is the one that spells out “John Cooper Works”. It’s not the sort of title that’ll help you get a table at a fine-dining restaurant, but it’ll get you there well before time. Because with 210bhp of power, this is, without a doubt, the hottest hatchback in the country.
To be specific, this is the Mini Cooper S JCW Pro Edition: a recently minted limited-edition Coop with extra power, sharper styling and greater street cred. But what you really need to concern yourself with is the JCW tuning kit that the Mini Cooper S comes with, and what that entails. Mini likes to dish out a special edition every now and then just to remind all the millennials hotfooting it across boulevards that they’re much better off hotfooting it in its seductive neo-retro cocoon. Said cocoon has been sufficiently spruced up to match the “Pro Edition” visuals.
