MINI has launched the MINI John Cooper Works 3 Door and MINI John Cooper Works Countryman for the local market.
Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “From the three overall victories at the Monte Carlo Rally back in the 1960s to more recently, the six overall successes at the Dakar Rally, the thrill and excitement in a MINI brought upon by motorsports truly transcends time. The New MINI John Cooper Works 3 Door and the New MINI John Cooper Works Countryman are a distillation of that timeless motorsports fascination, honed by years of expertise under the John Cooper Works name.”
He added, “The John Cooper Works name continues to garner excitement and fascination in Malaysia, as seen with MINI Malaysia’s remarkable success in 2020, with local deliveries contributing to 10% of John Cooper Works’ total retail volume in Malaysia. With these new models, we will continue fuelling that passion for Big Love that we have ignited within our MINIacs.”
Distinguished marques in their own rights, the connection between MINI and John Cooper Works is based on a decades-long tradition and joint successes in racing, combined with a shared passion for spirited driving experience, individuality, and premium quality. Updated for the future, the New MINI John Cooper Works 3 Door and the New MINI John Cooper Works Countryman continue to honour that joint heritage in bringing the excitement of the rally to every drive.
