Mini John Cooper Works GP Priced at $45,750? ›

Mini's limited-edition John Cooper Works GP is imbued with enough horsepower and attitude to be the quickest front-wheel-drive car we've ever tested. Mini is counting on 3000 buyers to think that a two-door Mini hardtop with 301 horsepower, carbon-fiber fender flares, and a $45,750 price is an irresistibly good idea.

However, although Mini's legendary kart-like handling and some outlandish body modifications mark the GP out as something special, it only comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. At $44,900, it's far more expensive than the regular John Cooper Works hatch and the Type R.

What's New? The Mini John Cooper Works GP Inspired Edition has been launched in India and is priced at Rs. 46.90 lakh.

Priced from $63,900 before on-road costs, the GP is $13,000 more than a regular John Cooper Works hatch. Don't worry though, as you'd easily chew through half of that spare cash by adding options to the normal JCW car, so we'll say the gap is more in the $7-9k range.

Beating VW, Renault and Fiat to it, though, was Mini, with the Cooper S Works GP. Limited to 2,000 cars, with around 450 coming to the UK, it was pieced together by Italian coachbuilder Bertone for maximum speciality.

Due to the nature of GP models, they have only ever been produced in limited numbers. Only 2,000 GP1 models were produced (500 for the UK), and 2,000 GP2 models (288 for the UK).

MINI John Cooper Works GP embodies a rich racing heritage that stretches back over five decades. Its 2.0 litre, 306 PS 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with an outstanding 450 Nm torque delivers an impressively powerful performance.

At the heart of the MINI GP3 is a 2.0 litre, four cylinder, TwinPower turbo petrol engine more or less straight from the hot-shot BMW M135i, as is the standard fit eight speed sports automatic transmission, but it's front wheel drive only, no ALL4 weighty 4WD traction for this version.
