MINI GP What is it?

mini-john-cooper works-gp, car news

Faster and sharper limited-edition Mini JCW 
The JOHN COOPER WORKS GP is the fastest Mini production model ever, and a last hurrah for the current-generation hatch before it’s replaced next autumn.
 This Power is coming from a new model of the the regular JCW 1.6-liter turbo engine , which was modified to produce 215bhp - 7bhp more.
Mini has also binned the rear seats to reduce weight, and upgraded the suspension, tyres and brakes.
sure enough, the GP stays flat  in corners and feels both agile  and engaging. the engine also  has massive mid-range grunt.
the one big question mark is road manners; our drive was exclusively on track. that said, the GP was able to ride kerbs without them thumping into the cabin or deflecting the car off course in the way they would in lesser Minis.
At £28,790, the GP carries a hefty £6335 premium over the regular JCW, but production will be limited to just 2000 cars worldwide, so it should hold its value well.
fantastic hot hatches such as the BMW M135i and renault Mégane Cup might make more sense, but the GP has its own appeal.
 Verdict : Big fun for big money
