MINI tweeted an image of the mysterious hatchback, accompanied by the words "It seems like it's time for a boost" and the tag ElectricThrillMaximised. Presumably, Mini is preparing the premiere of an electric version of the hot hatch, which in the petrol version is known as JCW.

• Based on the accompanying text, the new MINI will be significantly more powerful than the electric MINI Cooper SE presented in summer 2019. Its electric motor develops 184 hp, which allows the hatchback to accelerate to 100 km / h in 7.3 seconds.
• Previously, MINI has already published images of a prototype electric hot hatch JCW - the pictures illustrate the process of testing a camouflaged three-door at the Nurburgring. Neither then, nor now, there were no hints about the characteristics of the power plant.

• Most likely, its output will be comparable to the power of the MINI JCW gasoline engine, which develops 231 hp. and is capable of accelerating to 100 km / h in 6.1 seconds. However, it is unclear how many electric motors will be used in this sports car. In the event that MINI decides to use a twin-engine unit, the electric MINI JCW could be all-wheel drive.
• The date of the debut of the novelty has not yet been specified. Earlier, the MINI company announced its intention to abandon internal combustion engines, focusing on electric vehicles: the company plans to free its line from internal combustion engines by the end of the decade.
