Last weekend I followed the invitation from the Berlin agency Blackflagship and the BMW branch office in Berlin and went to the Driving Center Groß Dölln to discover the new MINI John Cooper Works models.

The ring taxi ride was a unique experience for me - the ride with a racing driver in a MINI John Cooper Works Clubman. I have never joined a ride on a race track before and I have never felt the sportiness of the John Cooper Works models. I expected that the drive on the race track might be a bit exhausting. But that I would break a sweat after the trip, which was definitely 20 minutes long, I would not have expected that. The new models have an engine power of up to 306 hp, a deep engine sound and a dynamic appearance. The curves became a special experience. Pure driving passion - also as a passenger. I'm really excited about the driving dynamics and the power of the MINI JCW. Immediately I would get back in the MINI and take this ride again, which had been an adrenaline rush.

You can find out more about the new models and the technical details on the MINI website.

THE CLOOU - the motto of the event.
Exciting rides with BMW Motorrad and MINI.

MINI John Cooper Works Clubman

By far the strongest models in the history of the MINI brand. A 225 kW / 306 hp four-cylinder turbo engine ensures outstanding performance in the new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman and Countryman.
