Mini has developed a massive wing to which it has attached a John Cooper Works hardtop. All joking aside, the JCW will be returning to the 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring following a 10-year hiatus. The 50th edition held on the iconic Nordschleife will see private team Bulldog Racing fielding this little monster in the SP3T class. Mods have been made to transform the pocket rocket into a proper race car, including a single-seat cabin.
The stripped-out interior now accommodates a full roll cage and a body-hugging OMP seat. Since it has to go around the Green Hell for 24 hours, the fuel tank's volume has been increased to 100 liters (26.4 gallons) to reduce the number of pitstops for refueling. Compared to the road-going JCW, its racing sibling swaps out the glass windows in favor of Makrolon window panes to reduce weight.
