Mini will not offer manual gearboxes in any future products, according to the automaker’s boss\u00a0Stefanie Wurst speaking to Top Gear<\/em>. Also, the company plans to get into electric vehicle racing.<\/p>\n

“We won\u2019t have a manual unfortunately,” Mini brand boss Stefanie Wurst said about the future combustion-powered models. The automaker introduced the electric variants of the new Cooper and Countryman at the IAA Mobility show in Munich.<\/p>\n

So far, Mini is keeping quiet about the new combustion-powered models. All models reportedly gain mild-hybrid assistance to improve emisssions.<\/p>\n

“I think meeting Charlie [Cooper, grandson of John Cooper] made me confident about continuing with motorsport,” said Wurst. “So, we plan to go with him into electric motorsport as well.”<\/p>\n

“For me it\u2019s just really difficult to judge right now because not all new forms of electric motorsport have been successful,” she said. “Which is a good platform for the future? We\u2019ll see what evolves and plan to join something.”<\/p>\n

In August 2023, Mini gave its manual-gearbox-equipped performance models a proper sendoff by introducing the\u00a0John Cooper Works Bulldog Racing Edition\u00a0(pictured above). It uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making\u00a0231 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque with a Remus exhaust and a six-speed manual. It rides on an\u00a0an adjustable KW V3 suspension and\u00a017-inch OZ HyperGT wheels with\u00a0Pirelli P Zero tires. There are no rear seats in the cabin to save weight.<\/p>\n

The newly debuted Mini Cooper EV is avalable in two trims \u2013 E and SE. The base model uses a\u00a0front-mounted electric motor that makes 181 horsepower and\u00a0front-mounted electric motor that develops 181 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque. It can reach 62 miles per hour in 7.3 seconds. A 40.7 kilowatt-hour battery provides a WLTP-estimated range of 189 miles.<\/p>\n

The hotter SE variant has 214 hp and 243 lb-ft, which lets this version hit 62 mph in 6.7 seconds. A\u00a054.2-kWh pack offers 249 miles of WLTP-estimated range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both trims ride on the Spotlight EV platform that comes from a collaboration between BMW Group and China’s Great Wall Motor. Some production of these vehicles will take place in China.<\/p>\n
