Power
The new MINI John Cooper Works GP is powered by a 225kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology and it is the fastest MINI approved for road use.
The stripped-down MINI John Cooper Works GP has a 55kW advantage of the standard MINI John Cooper Works, while the suspension has been lowered by 10mm and this makes the MINI GP sprints from 0-100 in just 5.2 seconds while topping out at 265km/h.
Interior
Inside, you will find a model-specific cockpit as well as two seats. The standard equipment includes John Cooper Works sports seats in Dinamica/leather combination with silver side edges, red accentuation seams, a GP badge underneath the integrated headrests and red belt straps. The interior trim on the passenger side bears the numbering of the respective vehicle. This is produced individually for each one of the 3,000 extreme athletes by means of 3D printing.
In addition to red accentuation seams, the steering wheel rim made of soft Nappa leather also features a metal centre marking for the 12 o'clock position created using the additive manufacturing process. The shift paddles on the steering wheel are likewise 3D-printed in metal. In addition to the GP logo, a characteristic honeycomb structure can be seen on the paddle surfaces. Colour accentuations in the otherwise dark cockpit are provided by the red GP logos on the floor mats, matching double stripes on the gear selector and the Chili Red painted aluminium cross-brace behind the seats. This serves as a shield to prevent luggage items from slipping forward in the event of sudden braking.
