The modification of the John Cooper Works Mini Cooper starts out with the understanding that to make a car faster and more powerful, it needs a good power to weight ratio. Seeing as the Mini Cooper is a lightweight compact car to start with, it gives it an advantage.

Modification work starts with a turbo enhancement, which sees the Mini Cooper with a 50mm turbo instead of the standard 43mm. What's more is that the Mini Cooper got a tune, a bigger exhaust, a JCW cat-back system, and a carbon fiber intake. Its new carbon fiber intake is a huge advantage to the engine and the potential power, as it allows the engine to receive cool air to hit higher speeds. The new intake teams well with the new Forge Motorsport intercooler, which also enhances the Mini Cooper's performance figures by opening up the airflow.

Seeing as the enhancement of this Mini Cooper boasts 400-hp, it makes the power to weight ratio pretty insane. Mini Coopers typically offer around 306 horsepower from the highest trim models. Therefore, this modification really does give the Mini Cooper a unique stance in the world of Mini Cooper's.

The power to weight ratio is of high standards. Although other rides can offer way more power, they likely weigh much more. Meaning that the Mini Cooper modification is terrific in terms of giving it an optimal power to weight ratio.

The modification of the Mini Cooper did not stop at the mechanics, the exterior got some loving too. The kit it out with 25-inch Michelin 4S tires all around, which all feature new slotted rotors to give the Mini Cooper a super sporty finish.

For an even greater look for the exterior, the headlights feature a half-cover and the bodywork sees a ceramic coating to enhance its shiny black appearance. To match with that black paintwork, the Mini Cooper also features a 5 percent window tint, which makes the ride look much sportier and cool.

Overall, the Mini Cooper modification is super sporty and unique. No other Mini Cooper can offer such power, which is all thanks to the intake and intercooler additions.
