MINI Paceman and John Cooper Works GP to debut in Paris
Posted on 
The MINI Paceman and John Cooper Works GP will make their world premiere at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. MINI will also showcase the entire range of John Cooper Works cars at the show
MINI is all set to showcase their new Paceman at the upcoming 2012 Paris Motor Show. The Paceman is MINI’s take on a Sports Activity Coupe. The Paceman is based on the Countryman with a swooping rear roof line. The roof of the Paceman is 40mm lower than that of the Countryman. MINI wants to portray the Paceman as a sportier version of the Countryman with its lower centre of gravity.
As can be seen from the pictures, the Paceman is a three-door hatchback (the Countryman is a five-door hatch) to keep up its sporty character. Standard specification for the Paceman also includes lowered sports suspension.
The Paceman will be available with a choice of four engines with power outputs ranging from 113PS to 186PS. Two of the engines will be fuelled by petrol while the other two will be diesels. MINI will offer a six-speed automatic gearbox as an option. Like its bigger brother the Paceman will have an option to be specced with MINI’s MINI ALL4 all-wheel drive system for an extra Rs 95,000.
Prices for the MINI Paceman will range from £18,970 (Rs 16,48,708) to £23,070 (Rs 20,05,420) in the UK.
There will also be a high performance John Cooper Works (JCW) Paceman in the future. No details are out yet but judging by the JCW Countryman on the cards the Paceman will have roughly 221PS of power.
