Model History
The
top model
Mini
from the last generation was the
JCW GP
- a special
edition with just 2, 000 units. Now it seems history is about to
repeat itself as Mini has just unveiled the official details on the new John
Cooper Works GP, described by the company as the fastest Mini ever built: it
laps the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in 8 min. 23 seconds.
The
new John Cooper Works GP will be offered with powertrain, chassis and
aerodynamics technology inspired directly by motor sport, but Mini did not
announced any specifications just yet. However, they did confirmed it lapped
the Nurburgring ring in 8 minutes and 23 seconds - an improvement over the
previous GP model by 19 seconds.
On
the exterior the new model will be
distinguished by large front and rear aprons, striking side skirts, a bespoke
roof spoiler and newly developed rear diffuser. This impressive package
continues on the interior where the car has the rear seats removed in order to
get a more racing appearance.
The
new model will go on sale later this year in a limited run of 2, 000 units, With
the occasion Mini announced that only 500 units will be imported to the U.S.
market.
Equipment
The model comes equipped with xenon headlights
in black shells, fog lamps, sun protection glazing, air conditioning, electric
windows, DSC with special GP mode, and a Sport button, rear strut rein
Exterior
The car
comes with an aerodynamic package which includes a large front and rear aprons, striking side sills and model-specific roof spoiler. On the front a large
spoiler has been used in order to reduce drag coefficient by 6%.
Interior
For the interior Mini opted to remove the rear seats and
focused on the needs of the driver and co-driver. The model comes
equipped with Recaro sports seats with special GP stitching and a cargo guard
that prevents items from sliding forward out of the luggage compartment. The
interior package continues with a thick-rimmed leather steering wheel and the
gearshift knob with chrome ring and red shift diagram; an anthracite roof
liner, piano black interior surfaces and door grips, and an anthracite rev
counter and speedometer dials.
Engine & Transmission
Mini has placed a heavily modified 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder
turbo engine that delivers a total of 218 HP at 6, 000 rpm and a peak torque of
191 lb-ft from just 1, 750 rpm. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just
6.3 seconds, accelerates from 50 to 75 mph in fifth gear of just 5.9 seconds
and can hit a top speed of 150 mph. The turbocharged engine also
delivers outstanding efficiency: 39.8 mpg.
The new JCW GP is the first MINI model that comes
equipped with an individually adjustable coil over suspension that allows the
ride height to be lowered by up to 20 millimeters. Among other things, this
means the suspension set-up can be fine-tuned to different circuit conditions
whenever the MINI goes out onto the track.
Wheels, Tires & Brakes
Racing-derived sports brake system, featuring six-piston Brembo fixed-caliper disc brakes, vented at the front and
a set of Challenge inspired 17-inch light alloy wheels, with sport tires 215/40
