2013 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP

Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP (2013)
for sale

Price: US $27,900.00

Description:

Up for sale is my 2013 Mini Cooper GP (also called GP2) with only 16K miles. It has a clean title and no bank liens. It is in as close to showroom condition as a lightly-used car can be - no mechanical or cosmetic issues worth mentioning. Also included is an extra GP stock rim/tire that I carry as an emergency spare. At time of purchase, MSRP was set at $39, 950 plus dealer markup.
The GP has been enhanced with a Manic Mini Stage 1 ECU Tune (software-only, no hardware changes, no smog impact). This enhancement adds 50+ hp at the wheels without affecting motor reliability! Included is the SPS OBD2 switch that enables you to switch between stock mode (for Dealer visits or smog tests) and 3 enhanced modes - no ECU removal required! If you wish, you can make additional hardware changes to take the car to Stage 2 or Stage 3 performance - the ECU Tune is compatible with these changes.
This Mini is unit # 84 of 500 units made for the US market - a rare collector's item. Mini calls it the fastest production Mini ever built. Some of the highlights of this Mini compared to regular or JCW Mini Coopers:
* Wholly redesigned suspension with coil-overs offering a 0.8-inch range of adjustment
* Lowered by 0.8 inch in the front and 0.6 inch at the rear
* Spring rates have increased by 50 percent with anti-roll bar diameters remaining the same
* Front brake hardware includes larger, 13-inch vented front discs and six-piston fixed calipers
* A rear wing, diffuser, and underbody panels reduce lift at the rear axle by 90 percent at speeds above 62 mph
* 7.5- by 17-inch aluminum wheels GP style
* With two degrees of negative camber and reduced toe-in, the GP is set up to make good use of its rubber
* 211 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque
* Recaro seats with red GP stitching
* Rear seats removed in favor of a rear strut reinforcement brace to minimize weight and body sway
The styling is very appealing (in my opinion and others' opinions) - contrasting gray and black with red accents/graphics and graphite rear wing.
The speed claims are real - read about the 8:23 time set at the famous German race course (Nurburgring) - not far from times set by hyper-expensive supercars!
Here is your chance to own (and drive) this fun toy - and collector's item!
