Exclusive: MINI USA Debuts JCW Clubman Launch Edition
MINI USA is unveiling the JCW Clubman Launch Edition to celebrate the launch of the 301 hp JCW Clubman for 2020. The Launch Edition comes with all the same mechanical which makes the 2020 JCW Clubman the fastest MINI ever produced from the factory. Where is differs is in the color and trim combinations which harken back to GPs of the past.
In other words this JCW Clubman is intended to pay homage to the JCW GP and even hint at what we’ll see in the upcoming GP3.
JCW Clubman Launch Edition: The Spec
The car will be finished in Thunder Grey with a Melting Silver roof and Chili Red mirrors. The exterior trim will be all gloss black including all logos and even the “Clubman” name.
Inside the Launch Edition will feature the new JCW Carbon Black and Dinamica/Leather seats that will also see duty in the GP3. Additionally MINI USA is equipped the car with MINI Yours Piano Black Illuminated trim and the carbon black color line.
The JCW Clubman Launch Edition will be limited to 100 units and will be available to order shortly. Pricing and launch date will be announced soon.
<p>Surprise! USA edition comes with a Manual!</p>
<p>Then I woke up.</p>
<p>Any idea when the US configurator will update with the 2020 JCW models?</p>
<p>I’ve also been waiting for the 2020 JCW US configurator for the Clubman and especially for the Countryman. May be wrong, but I think I recall it being mentioned at this site as coming ‘within a month’ back in June and/or early July. That time has come and gone!…..maybe Sep???</p>
<p>We were told it was coming in August. Obviously that may have been optimistic.</p>
<p>Thanks Gabe….will just keep a lookout here & miniusa.com for the build update on the 2020 JCW Countryman (and Clubman). Is it expected the updates will occur at the same time or will the Clubman preceded the Countryman a bit per this latest debut of the Clubman Launch Edition?</p>
<p>Gabe….I’ve been on MF a few times over the past 3 months regarding when the 2020 JCW CM (and Clubman) would be available for a build on miniusa.com.</p>
<p>I recently sent a note to miniusa.com asking this same question. Their reply said their ‘WEB’ people are currently working on getting the BYO (Build Your Own) updated for the 2020 models.</p>
<p>However they added that, ‘unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to provide an estimated time frame as to when to 2020’s MINIs will be available on the BYO.”</p>
<p>Surprised that we’re now in mid Sep and the 2020 builds aren’t ready on miniusa.com and no date estimate is even in the picture yet!</p>
<p>I’m surprised too.</p>
<p>Same…JCW Countryman for me.</p>
<p>Despite the lack of a update on the miniusa.com configurator to include the 2020 Countryman and Clubman, I discovered my former mini dealership in Fl (I moved to North Carolina nearly a year ago) as well as phone contact with a north Ga dealership, both have each received their 1st 2020 JCW Countryman within the past several days. So dealers are already beginning to receive that model, yet miniusa doesn’t yet have it on its build site!</p>
