Suspension/ Drivetrain.

The MINI John Cooper Works WRC has Macpherson strut suspension front and rear. The suspension has been developed in collaboration with motorsport damper specialists, Öhlins. The MINI John Cooper Works WRC has three-way adjustable dampers, so that it can be tuned to specific surfaces and the needs of the individual driver. The obligatory four-wheel drive allows maximum traction. The MINI Countryman road car is also available with four-wheel drive. The 1.6-litre turbo engine is mated to the drivetrain via an Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox and AP Racing sintered twin plate clutch with the driver selecting gear via a manual shift mounted on the steering column. The car has passive limited slip plate and ramp differentials on the front and rear axles.
