TapTechNews May 20th news, before the official release of the BMW Mini John Cooper Works petrol-powered hatchback this autumn, it will make an appearance at the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race next week and compete while being covered in camouflage film.
The Mini John Cooper Works will participate in the SP3T category this time and be handled by the Mini Motorsport company Bulldog Racing. Its camouflage coating is inspired by Paddy Hopkirk's Mini Cooper S that won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964.
The Mini company stated that this car will officially debut in the autumn, and the official power system specifications and production details will also be announced then, but this model will obviously be more aggressive in appearance than the regular model.
Custom styling elements include: a more prominent front grille flanked by a pair of new air intakes; a thick rear diffuser (which will be adjusted on the road version); and a raised roof spoiler. TapTechNews attaches more pictures as follows:
