What is John Cooper Works?

Serving Ramsey, NJ, Clifton, Wayne, Hackensack and beyond

MINI's racing roots are evident in every model they produce, and this is never more true than when it comes to the exclusive John Cooper Works lineup. John Cooper Works is a special breed of MINI automobile, upgraded for premium performance. With rigid bodies, a wide stance, and impeccable handling these are not your everyday automobiles. Early on, John Cooper Works was an upgrade package that could be added to certain MINI Cooper models. Over the years, this evolved into full-on John Cooper Works models with uprated spark plugs, flowed and ported cylinder heads, faster-spinning superchargers, and other track-focused design tweaks at every turn.

The Legacy of a Legend

Co-founder of the legendary car company that bears his name, John Cooper was an auto racing icon. His rear-engine chassis design revolutionized the sport of racing, from the Formula One track to the Indy 500. His new Cooper car took the racing world by storm, and surprised everyone. Nobody thought such racing prowess could come in such a small and unassuming package. John Cooper continued to develop and refine his automotive design, and remained a fixture in the industry for his entire life. His name still stands as a mark of excellence and ambition.
