Mini has been revealing or teasing or launching variants of its all-new lineup since last September. It’s not too much yet, but there’s a lot of Mini going on. Here’s the latest, the camouflaged Mini Cooper<\/a> JCW E Prototype that will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a> for a run up the hill, introduced to us six weeks after Mini showed us a camouflaged internal-combustion Cooper JCW<\/a>. And, if you’ll remember, Mini showed an electric version of the new Cooper SE JCW<\/a> last December. This JCW is going to rock more juice down electric avenue, though, the automaker saying there’s an “advanced electric powertrain … with cutting-edge technology” hiding under the skin.<\/p>\n

The expectation is that the JCW E will use the same 54.2-kWh battery<\/a> as in other Minis, but its front-mounted motor will make more than the 215 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque applied to the Cooper SE and Cooper SE JCW. Brand execs told Autocar<\/em><\/a> that engineers worked to maintain a “go-kart feeling,” imparting similar sensations to the gas-powered JCW, the electric version’s greater weight getting necessitating larger wheels and wider tires to improve grip. A stiffer suspension and larger brakes<\/a> should also be involved. And although the new architecture can support a dual-motor powertrain, there seems little chance of that happening.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Same as the gas-powered Mini, the red and white camo is an homage to the red and white color<\/a> schemes used in the 1960s for Minis in\u00a0motorsports<\/a>. The “37” logo commemorates the #37 Mini Cooper winning the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo<\/a>. Across the windshield, “Bulldog Racing” touts the team that won its class in this year’s N\u00fcrburgring 24-Hour race with a new camo’ed Mini.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the Mini JCW E’s Prototype’s run up the hill next weekend, the automaker says the global reveal comes in autumn this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
