SACHS Performance Clutch for Mini (R50, R53) John Cooper Works
For your Mini (R50, R53) with John Cooper Works engine (160 kW), we offer genuine SACHS Performance clutch components — designed for direct fitment.
Mini, created in 1959 by Alec Issigonis as a revolutionary small car, experienced a triumphant rebirth under BMW in 2001 — the Cooper S with turbocharging and John Cooper Works variants directly carry on the Monte Carlo Rally victories of 1964, 1965, and 1967. Mini has stood for iconic design and legendary go-kart handling since 1959 — from the Monte Carlo Rally to the modern BMW era, the brand embodies driving fun in the most compact form. The legendary go-kart handling makes the Mini the driving dynamics benchmark in the small car segment, proving that driving fun is not a matter of size.
