In addition, the New MINI Cooper Convertible also joins the latest wave of exciting additions to the MINI Family, offering a unique open-air driving experience that amplifies the MINI spirit of “Always Open”.
Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, shared, "It’s hard to believe that just nine months ago, we introduced the New MINI Family to Malaysia, and the excitement has only grown since then. Today, we continue to honour the legendary John Cooper Works name, which was first etched into motorsport history on the legendary streets of Monte Carlo and is now celebrated worldwide. The New MINI JCW takes up the mantle as the true torchbearer of this winning legacy, bringing to life the high-octane performance and pulse-pounding agility that have made JCW legendary. As the ultimate embodiment of MINI’s performance DNA, the New MINI JCW is designed to thrill, delivering the heart-racing experience that has always defined JCW – light, powerful, and unmistakably MINI!”
He added, “With the introduction of the First-Ever All-Electric MINI JCW and the First-Ever All-Electric MINI JCW Aceman, we’re bringing the unmistakable JCW driving experience to a broader audience, catering to different preferences while staying true to the high-performance DNA that JCW represents. These electrified models carry the legacy of MINI’s racing heritage into the future, offering an exhilarating performance with an electric pulse. At the same time, we are also introducing the New MINI Cooper Convertible, a true standout in the MINI line-up – its open-air freedom and instantly recognisable design make it an unparalleled experience. At MINI, individuality is at the core of everything we do, and these models celebrate the unique spirit that makes each MINIac stand out on the road.”
The latest lineup of MINI JCW models continue to carry the legacy of performance and racing heritage, dating back to the triumph of the classic Mini in the Monte Carlo Rally, where its agility allowed it to outperform much larger, more powerful vehicles. Building on this rich racing heritage, the John Cooper Works range has long been associated with performance and agility and these new models continue to deliver the ultimate driving experience – whether high-octane or fully electric. Introduced alongside the new petrol-powered and fully-electric MINI JCW models, the New MINI Cooper Convertible stays true to its "Always Open" philosophy – its unique open-air driving experience now combines with a state-of-the-art, all-digital cockpit, offering an experience of unmistakable driving pleasure and pure freedom.
