New MINI John Cooper Works Debuts at 24 Hours of Nürburgring

May 22, 2024

MINI enthusiasts and motorsport fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of the highly anticipated New MINI John Cooper Works. This iconic model is set to make its first appearance at this year's 24 Hours of Nürburgring, one of the most challenging endurance races in the world. The race tests drivers and teams on the iconic Nürburgring-Nordschleife over a grueling, day-long battle of speed, skill, and reliability.

The new petrol-powered MINI John Cooper Works, cloaked in a bespoke camouflage designed by the MINI Design Team, pays homage to the classic red and white color schemes used for Minis in motorsports during the 1960s. This design choice not only celebrates MINI's rich heritage but also marks the significant milestone of the upcoming world premiere of the New MINI John Cooper Works in fall 2024.

Marking a bold move in the automotive industry, the new MINI John Cooper Works lineup will be available in both petrol and all-electric versions, pushing the boundaries of speed and agility. The racecar features a distinctive "37" logo, commemorating MINI’s historic victory at the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo 60 years ago, serving as a tribute to MINI's motorsport tradition.

The New MINI John Cooper Works #317, entered by the private racing team from Nürburg, Bulldog Racing, will compete in the SP 3T category. Dubbed the "MINI John Cooper Works PRO," this MINI Twin-Power Turbo racecar represents the perfect fusion of MINI's iconic design and Bulldog Racing's track-tested expertise.

In addition to the #317, the race will also feature the beloved black MINI John Cooper Works #474 with manual transmission. This car secured a podium finish at last year's 24 Hours of Nürburgring, proving its prowess in the VT-2 category and cementing its status as a formidable contender in endurance racing.

As anticipation builds for its debut, MINI fans and automotive enthusiasts can expect an unforgettable showcase of the New MINI John Cooper Works capabilities at this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring from June 1st to June 2nd, 2024. This event will undoubtedly highlight the evolution and innovative spirit of the MINI brand.
