Basically the new GP3 under a different name;


Interesting spec;
Quaife LSD
Nitron adjustable coilovers (height, rebound with adjustable camber plates -2 degrees factory set)
Cup 2 tyres
Team Dynamics Wheels
Mintex brake pads
Final Body Graphics not designed yet.

No word on a stripped out interior but it could be the most hardcore MINI yet.

Nice! where did you get the specs from? I'm sorely tempted as the standard jcw's a blast.

Wonder if you can but the parts as a retro fit?
MINI just sent out the internal activation email and as I owned a GP and had been asking about this car I was forwarded the pdf.

I won't cut and paste the whole lot as there is a lot of stuff you won't be interested in but it's a push to market the John Cooper brand forward for more sales.

Sounds lovely - might have to get my name down for one. Any power increase mentioned? Car can probably handle it with a Quaiffe diff?
from what i've been told it's not on the cards, the engine mod is the bluetooth exhaust.

the one thing i have been told is extremely limited build numbers, like 50 or so.

the problem with that is they sold me a GP as a 200 uk models limited edition. which turned out to be bks...
