When the days get longer and the wind in your hair becomes the best co-pilot, the MINI John Cooper Works Convertible shows what it was built for. MINI is now bringing the most powerful convertible in its lineup in a new body color: Sunny Side Yellow – a clear statement for warm days, sunny pass roads, and spontaneous road trips.

Open, sporty, uncompromising

With the top down, every drive turns into an intense summer experience – especially where winding roads, crisp mountain air, and stunning panoramas come together.

The new press photos show the JCW Convertible in Sunny Side Yellow against an alpine backdrop: dynamic on the pass road, composed through tight switchbacks, and clearly visible against snow-capped peaks.

As the only convertible in its class, the MINI JCW Convertible occupies a special position. It combines an urban presence with unmistakable open-air driving fun – compact enough for the city, but with enough character for a big weekend pass drive.

The technical specs

Power: 170 kW / 231 hp
Torque: 380 Nm
0–100 km/h: 6.4 seconds
Consumption (WLTP combined): 7.1 l/100 km
CO₂ emissions: 162 g/km (CO₂ class F)

That makes the JCW Convertible the most powerful convertible in the MINI lineup, now and going forward – a statement it now underscores visually with the new color as well.

Sunny Side Yellow as a summer statement

The color choice is no coincidence: Sunny Side Yellow brings exactly the energy to the road you'd expect from an open-top JCW – loud, confident, and unmistakably MINI. Combined with the sporty JCW body kit and the compact silhouette, the result is a presence that holds its own even on an alpine pass road.
