Featuring four individual seats, 18'' alloy wheels, and a sport exhaust system with chrome tailpipes, the MINI JCW Paceman is motivated by a 218-horsepower, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that achieves 0-100km/h acceleration in 6.9 seconds, along with an electronically limited top speed of 226 km/h.

According to the EU test cycle, combined fuel consumption (city and highway) for the MINI JCW Paceman amounts to 7.4L/100km with the manual gearbox, and 7.9L/100km with the automatic.
