In mid-2008, Mini brought out a new addition to the JCW family - the Mini John Cooper Works. This is in fact not another power kit, but a whole new version of the R56 Mini Hatch, model code MF91.

 

It had a maximum power 211 PS at 6000 rpm, and 260 Nm of torque (280 with overboost). This was achieved by means of a new, uprated turbocharger, larger-bore exhaust and a sportier ECU map.

​

It was fitted with a Electronic limited slip differential (EDLC - Electronic Differential Lock Control), DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) and Brembo 4 pot caliper JCW brakes.
