U Spy: Is this the 2013 Mini Paceman John Cooper Works?


Living in Munich can have many perks, and we're not only talking about the quality of life where the German city is placed fourth best in the world in Mercer's "Quality of Living Survey" and fifth in "Monocle's Most Livable Cities Index", but for us car guys, there's also a lot to see on the roads.

Michael Gerhardinger joined our list of our spy readers today with these shots he took of an undisguised and unmarked Mini Paceman that he caught on Munich's roads.

At first, we thought it was probably a regular version of the new Paceman that was revealed at last month's Paris Motor Show, but upon a closer look, we noticed the "Werkstestwagen" decal on the rear bumper, which is German for "Factory test car".

MINI Drops New Photos and Details on the 215HP John Cooper Works GP Special [Updated]


Even though MINI first told us about the new John Cooper Works GP back in March, the BMW Group-controlled automaker held back photos of the interior as well as several specification details including the engine output and performance numbers.

With the Paris Motor Show just around the corner, MINI is now ready to share those details with us.

The second generation of the John Cooper Works (JCW) GP special follows pretty much the same recipe as it predecessor with a slightly more powerful turbocharged engine, a tweaked chassis, improved aerodynamics and a two seat setup.
