When Mini launched his latest generation of performance-vating John Cooper Works models, all eyes seemed to move to the Hardtop F66-Schrägerheck. But in the background was the F67, the 2025 Mini John Cooper Works Cabrio. And if a fresh set of photos from the Côte d’Azur has a hint, this spotlight could possibly have been incorrectly designed. The new Mini John Cooper Works Cabrio (F67) looks at home in the sun -drenched streets of Cannes, where the British charm Riviera Glamor meets.
This latest iteration of the drop-top hotel HATCH shows a configuration that perfectly embodies the mini-spirit: British Racing Green Paint with strong red accents on the mirrors and hood strip-one subtle allusion to the line of the JCW family.
A convertible that was created for the performance
Don’t let the beach environment and the open-air aesthetics deceive the f67-JCW convertible is not a slouch. It is driven by BMWS 2.0-liter inline-four B48 2.0-liter turbos, with 228 hp and 280 LB-FT torque. This is a significant torque effort through the previous model, and it leads to a sharper reaction and more self -confidence. The performance is channeled by a seven-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT). Mini says that 0–60 miles per hour lasts 6.2 seconds, but in practical tests our JCW convertible broke the six seconds effortlessly and wore a best of 5.82 seconds. Top speed? A fleet 245 km/h (152 miles per hour), which is more than enough to raise the eyebrows on the highway.
This classic mini-personality-now in drop-top form
Like its predecessors, the 2025 JCW Cabrio keeps this legendary mini look. It is still the caffeine -containing Jack Russell of the automotive world – much more sophisticated than before, but always ready to overthrow itself. The updated design language brings a cleaner aesthetics to the table with shiny black equipment, modernized LED lights and a chessboard fabric roof that holds the signature of Mini intact.
Despite the design polish, the F67 still feels like a car that was built for fun. The individual visible delivery receiver now is centrally located-the largest in the BMW group, while the hidden valve-controlled exhaust system offers a little more sound over 3,000 rpm.
Fun, but not cheap
Of course there are compromises. At $ 43,700 (plus a determination fee of $ 1,175), this is not a budget-friendly toy. And practicality is not the strongest suit either. With the roof, the trunk falls to a narrow 5.65 cubic foot. You can press a little more space by folding the rear seats and lifting the rear glass, but this mini is not a weekly car. Nevertheless, the convertible top is brilliantly constructed. It is a three-stage soft top, which partly opened like a sliding roof or can be completely withdrawn in just 18 seconds at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour-perfection for the spontaneous “Why not?” Moments when the sun breaks through the clouds.
