These days, electric cars come in (or are set to arrive in) all shapes and sizes: sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, sports cars, even semi trucks. Mini, however, is about to see how the realm of hot hatches can adapt to a future of electric mobility: the carmaker has announced its intentions to expand its John Cooper Works performance sub-brand with an EV version of its peppiest vehicles.
"It’s time to translate the passion for performance of the John Cooper Works brand to electromobility," Mini brand head Bernd Körber said in a statement issued December 1st. "That’s why we’re working to develop concepts for electric John Cooper Works models.”
While Mini's announcement was sparse on details, extrapolating out from current John Cooper Works models should give us a general idea of what to expect of any JCW EV. Today's gas-powered models pack tightly-wound suspensions, aggressive body kits (often with racy contrast-laden liveries) and as much as 301 horsepower in the form of the larger, all-wheel-drive JCW Countryman and Clubman. Any electric-powered version would presumably need to at least match those specs to be taken seriously...which means it would be one damn peppy electron-powered hot hatch.
This highly versatile pack is made from 1000D Cordura for durability and has any pocket you can imagine needing on a day-to-day basis or for short adventures. Plus it looks damn cool.
