World Premier: 2017 MINI JCW Countryman

The 2017 MINI JCW Countryman is here and a little earlier than we had been lead to believe. The formula isn't surprise however. The 228 hp 2.0L engine that powers the rest of the JCW range is here along with the higher torque tune (258 ft worth) that debuted in the JCW Clubman this past fall. This gives the JCW F60 Countryman a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds - .4 seconds faster than the R60 version that came before it.
