In my latest video '2017 Mini John Cooper Works Review - testing the convertible at the Evo Triangle' I take Mini's most powerful variant of their convertible to the Evo Triangle.

The Evo Triangle has been hailed as one of Great Britain's greatest driving roads and is situated in Wales, north of a small village called 'Cerrigydrudion'.

The John Cooper Works badge has always been reserved for the most powerful and expensive Mini's. With the latest generation 'JCW' Mini being available in Hatchback, Convertible, Clubman and Countryman form.

The latest John Cooper Works Mini's utilise a 2.0 litre petrol turbo engine which produces 231bhp and 320nm of torque. Performance statistics for the manual convertible JCW Mini I drove were: 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph. Loosing the roof does mean you have to lug around over 100kg meaning there are slight performance loses over the standard JCW hatchback.

The convertible in this video is not a car you see frequently on the road, with most customers tending to purchase the 3 door hatchback JCW Mini. The hatch being the cheapest and lightest JCW Mini you can acquire - lightness being a key variable Mr John Cooper himself valued highly when developing the original Mini Cooper back in the 1950s.

The lovely Moon Walk Grey John Cooper Works Mini Convertible you see in this video was supplied to me by the guys down at Rybrook Mini, Stratford-upon-Avon. For all Mini related enquiries be sure to get in contact via:
